——–Bio———-

Sarah (Noble) Drinkut is a visual artist, researcher and educator who primarily works in oil paint and fiber. A central exploration in her work is a use of color as haze that tips the viewer experience of  her subject toward that of a shifting visual play between vaporous color and form. Her current subject of interest are our natural world painted as allegorical harbinger. Fiber felted edge frames and weavings are made for some paintings in a study of an abstract dispersal of the painted color into tactile object.

Sarah studied painting at Chautauqua School of Art, The New York Studio School, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The International School of Art, Anderson University, and completed her MFA at Western Carolina University in 2006. Among the galleries she has shown her work are, Denise Bibro Gallery and The Bowery Gallery in NYC, as well as Gross McCleaf Gallery and Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia.
