Keep in touch on Instagram @sarahgoldenart. I share new work, works in progress and behind the scenes.

Happy 6th birthday to my girls August and Sadie, and happy birthday to my husband Jacob! They were born on his birthday and he was born on his dad’s birthday. That still boggles my mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I made their dresses, I’m going to keep sewing them clothes for as long as they want me to and probably for years after:) It brings me great joy, I learned to sew garments when I was pregnant and sewed itty bitty newborn versions of this same dress. Pattern is the Geranium Dress by @madebyrae and fabric is from my newest collection Home with @andoverfabrics ❤️
I wish I would’ve gotten a photo of the buttons on the back, I worked hard for those 🙃

Tiny oil study, 3x3”. The energy captured in this tiny painting thrills me. Now to paint it bigger 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

A collection of small oil paintings in my home studio. I aiming to have at least 40 small pieces by Open Studios, Sept 14-15th. A mix of abstracts and plants 🌱

Studio view from a couple weeks back. I’m on a short summer break, minimal studio hours for a few weeks till kids start school again. #sarahgoldenstudio #doitfortheprocess #wherewomencreate #artiststudio #sacramentoartist #thriveartstudio

This 36x48” is hanging in @canoneastsac right now. It’s a beautiful (and delicious!) space and I’m really thrilled to have my work hanging there. It’s wired to hang vertical in the restaurant but I think it works both ways. What do you say, horizontal or vertical? Actually there’s four options 🤯🤓 Depends where the black square lands. Thank you @brownpigeon for hanging my work in great spaces!
Available, DM or email me for details.

It’s been a crazy couple summer time working mom days. 👀👩🏻‍🎨☕️
A fave print of mine- Abstract no.2, available in 16x20”, 11x14” and 8x10”. #sarahgoldenprints ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Studio view. I did a little art supply online art supply shopping yesterday and filled my cart with $400 worth of oil sticks and then left it. I can’t be the only one who does this? .
I’ll have my studio open for Second Saturday tonight 6-9pm. Hope to see some of you there!

Yesterday I made so much progress on this 36x48” canvas. I quietly attacked it with oil sticks and it’s got texture and good vibes going. I have no clue how I’m going to manage the space to dry large oil paintings in my 175 sq ft studio 👀👩🏻‍🎨 But the heart wants what the heart wants and sometimes you have to throw logistics out the window 😂 You can see an earlier version directly below this pic on my grid 👩🏻‍🎨

Little plant with a side of abstraction. 5x5”, oil on panel. I just turned in the first look of my new fabric collection to Andover! It’ll be ages before I can share anything:) But most of them are on my grid in one form or another. I’d love for you to take some guesses, just comment on them, my lips are sealed, but it’s still fun 😊

Color study
3x3”
oil on panel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At home I’m using only four tubes of paint, white, yellow, blue and red. I really want to connect more with color in my work and I’m enjoying and getting better at mixing colors.

Studio view. Working on this 36x48” and it’s at that stage where I’m excited about some of the parts, happy with the direction it’s going, trying not to be too precious, trying not to fuck it up, trying to let go of those previous two things, ohhh that part is nice, not liking parts of it, covering up parts that I like, painting over parts I don’t like, wondering about what I’m gonna have for lunch, running low on yellow paint, needing to get bigger buckets of water for my brushes, really loving the energy of a certain part of it, I need noise canceling headphones 🎧, trying to change to a new podcast with paint all over my hands, make a cup of coffee, okay time to stop on this one and come back with fresh eyes. 🌈👩🏻‍🎨🎧☕️

Play. I do my best work and most importantly to me, I enjoy the hours of working when I have a sense of play. This is a lesson I keep relearning about once a month 😊Painted on this little one at home before I headed to the studio this morning. Do you have things you relearn over and over? I have a list of things 🤓

Here are a couple pilea peperomioides portraits. Painting a ton of tiny 3x3” oil paintings as studies. I’ve got two big shows coming up in big beautiful spaces and need to get my ideas out and then I’ll gather some plans for a couple bodies of work. I’d like to get plants and abstracts into one body of work. So working small is how I may get there. We shall see. 👩🏻‍🎨 #sarahgoldenplantseries
