Background
I'm Sara Brandenburg, the artist behind Wild Studio. I created Wild Studio as a way of combining all of my various works into a visual portfolio of my adventures and inspirations. I was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains, and my deep love of the wilderness has always inspired my creations. I have no classical art training aside from basic school art classes; my education is actually in Wildlife Biology and Geographic Information Systems (maps!). However, art has been a part of my life since I was a child, and I've always been drawn to the artistic process as a way of expression, communication, and relaxation. I always take art with me wherever I go, either in a suitcase or a backpack, and thus the idea for Wild Studio was born. My creative spaces range from kitchen tables to pottery studios, but most often I simply create from a seat with a good view.
Inspiration
My inspiration is drawn largely from my love of the natural world, exploration, and adventure– I strive to achieve the feeling of wonder and deep connection that I have experienced throughout my life. This largely lends itself to images and sculptures of landscapes and animals; However, I'm also inspired by people, society, and the conflicts and struggles of the world, and I love experimenting with new mediums and techniques to achieve my vision.
