Sarah Grew (she/her) is a photographer and painter based in the Pacific Northwest. Her work expands into installation and environmental art, or contracts into collage and printmaking. Infused in ideas bridging art history, philosophy, and the natural sciences, her art studies ideas of time, light and climate change. To further develop the concepts that enrich her work she has been an artist-in-residence for a philosophical collegium in Italy, become a beekeeper, studied native plant habitats, and been awarded a residency at a recycling facility in California. Recently, she was an artist in residence on a science research boat studying the effects of climate change on the plankton food web. This fall Grew was invited to speak at the Portland Art Museum for the Photography Council. She has been awarded a Ford Family Foundation Artist Support Grant several times in addition to residencies at the Djerassi Residency Artist Program, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Playa, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Ucross Foundation. Her project, The Ghost Forest was developed in part during a Jane Stevens King Remote Residency at Lane Community College. The Ghost Forest has also been awarded a LensCulture Critics Choice award and was selected by Photolucida for Critical Mass top 50 Photographic projects. In addition to her studio work she is collaborating with several science teams to create work that sits in the interstices of art and science.
