Born in Fort Worth, TX and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Sarah currently resides in Boston where she has lived for the past 13 years. Since childhood she’s been involved in a few branches of the arts, most notable music and photography, the latter of which was influenced by her maternal grandfather Gene, who was known to carry around several cameras and lenses at all times! Saatchi Art is Sarah’s first commercial endeavor with her photography, of which there is a large body of work that spans two decades. Among notable elements of her catalog are unique, affectionate treatment of mundane subjects, powerful concepts and statements expressed through juxtaposition and layering, and compositional, geometric beauty. Sarah Ikerd is also the owner of a small gallery called Shangri-la in Greater Boston, specifically West Everett, that features local artists and supports them with free events.
