Sarah Lamphere
BIOGRAPHY
East Bay Area-based artist, Sarah Lamphere, is currently enrolled at California State University, Stanislaus where she is pursuing a degree in Fine Arts. Originally from Southeast Iowa, Sarah's work is influenced by her life in the rural Midwest and her passion for broadening awareness of her inner-self, as well as the world. Sarah's more recent art celebrates human limitedness and endurance through large-scale textile installations and sensory experiences.
Sarah's art has been displayed in group exhibitions, including The Annual Indian Hills Community College Student Art Exhibit at Ottumwa, Iowa, and The Iowa Artists Annual Show at Albia, Iowa. She's been awarded for exceptional art and school performance with the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, the National Society of Leadership and Success, the Academy Honors Program, and nominated for the ISC Outstanding Student Award - in addition to receiving honorary acknowledgments and grants from California State University-Stanislaus, Central College, Indian Hills Community College, the Wapello Art Club, and the Indian Hills Community College Trustee Award.
