Meet another one of our extremely talented and very generous artists for The Benefit of Art: Sarah Packer!

Sarah is a #ceramicist from #evanston who hand-builds eclectic sculptural and functional pieces from a variety of clay bodies. Inspired by organic shapes found in nature, Sarah’s work often represents Flora, water, fire, and re-birth explored through the theme of constant transformation. In her ceramic work, Sarah’s use of 22K gold luster glaze, traditionally used in much smaller quantities, adds a preciousness to her pieces while exhibiting the beauty that can be found in all living things.

After raising her children and a career spent teaching art and cultural enrichment, Sarah currently explores her own creative energy in the ceramic’s studio while also managing public and member programming, including art tours and travel, for the non-profit art education organization, Art Encounter.

Sarah has shown her work locally at Space 900 Gallery, Evanston, and with Evanston Made. Her work has been commissioned or purchased by private collectors from New York to Seattle and as far away as Ecuador.

Thank you, Sarah, for creating your one-of-a-kind piece for our upcoming event, The Benefit of Art on 9.26.24 at the gorgeous 28 Mile Distilling Co.!
