Sculptor & Painter:
Sarah Danielson
Alfred University - New York

Sarah Danielson is a senior at Alfred University in New York. She is majoring in fine arts with a minor in psychology. In high school, Sarah won Gold Keys in the prestigious Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition for her work in ceramics. She enjoys how art gives her the ability to let go – let her mind run free. She draws inspiration from nature, animals and the appearance and behaviors of those around her. Although she originally planned to concentrate in ceramics, Sarah found that she also loves to paint, including painting her sculptures (instead of glazing them). Recently, she has been creating pieces that combine her two passions – art and psychology. She has been experimenting with portraiture by defining people around her in one “snapshot,” either through a facial expression or a compilation of objects. Her work was chosen for display at the Scholes Library at Alfred University.

Sarah is also a dedicated volunteer who has been involved with several community and children’s programs. Most recently, Sarah had the opportunity to teach art at a school in Ukraine for an English as a second language program. She will be going back next year and hopes to make it an annual commitment.
