Sara Benowitz

Fairy tales are often born of human communion with the ways of Nature - it's fractally pattern recurrences within an astounding array of forms challenge the imagination to invent original shapes and to develop stories with context of the natural world. One form suggests another: the leaf-like eye or the tree branch-like progression of veins and cracks. Painting allows psychological exploration – the reactions colors elicit, the experimentation the process affords, the communion of psyche with eyes, hands, paint, and brush. Sara Benowitz is inspired by nature, psychology, and repurposing. Sara's art often centers on themes merging humans with nature, aligning her art with themes native to the FairyTale Club. A member of the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers artist collective, Sara often incorporates repurposed and natural objects to her work. She also practices as a psychotherapist for marginalized and vulnerable Los Angeles community members.
