  ARTIST'S STATEMENT

An important aspect of my work reflects a very direct connection I feel with animals. I am inspired by their emotional transparency and their fascination with any new object or situation: the squirrel who comes to our fire escape every day to taunt our cat; the tiny sparrow who steals the large chunk of bread in mid-air as it's being thrown to a duck; the dogs that are so delighted to be out on a walk. Over the past seven years I have developed a series of drawings, prints and sumi-e paintings of animals.

BIO

Sarah Hauser was born in San Francisco, and has lived in New York since 1979. She studied drawing at the Art Students League and Spring Studio; sumi-e painting with Koho Yamamoto at Koho School of Sumi-e, as well as Sung-Sook Setton and Gan Yu; and drawing, painting, printmaking and papermaking at Cooper Union, Manhattan Graphics, the Lower East Side Printshop and Dieu Donne Papermill. Her exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad have included Woodward Gallery (NYC), International Print Center of New York, Barrett House, Noho Gallery (NYC), Pen and Brush Gallery (NYC), Purdue University, Woman Made Gallery, Hiram Blauvelt Museum, Target Gallery at Torpedo Factory Art Center, Washington Printmakers Gallery, Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts (California), Nommo Gallery in Kampala, and KIWA Exhibition and Tour in Japan. Her work has been published in CALYX, Simple Printmaking and Japanese Woodblock Printing. She was a monthly keyholder member at the Lower East Side Printshop in New York City , and has also made prints at Manhattan Graphics Center , Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and Kathy Caraccio Studio. As animals are a subject very close to her heart, Sarah has donated work to such groups as Delta Society, PAWS/LA, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the Primate Conservation and Welfare Society, Treehouse Animal Foundation, Texas Snow Monkey Sanctuary, the Gorilla Foundation and Jane Goodall. She has steadily built a body of work, evolving from drawing and painting to monoprints, linocuts, woodblock prints, etchings and sculpture. Sarah has demonstrated and assisted teaching Japanese woodblock printing at the Japan Society and at the annual "Sakura Matsuri," or Cherry Blossom Festival, in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden .  She had a solo exhibition of new works on paper in 2007 at Manhattan Graphics Center in New York City .

Sarah is represented by Woodward Gallery in New York City , where, in 2004, she had a one-person show entitled "Geneticircus". This show consisted of her series of prints, drawings and sculptures of hybrid animals.
