Sarah Wilmer’s work is a personal and powerful place guided by intuition. She immerses herself in her scenario, creating a dreamlike scene infused with a certain amount of magic, beauty and hope. Her imagery is very intuitive and calls on references of the stories of Banana Yoshimoto and Edgar Allen Poe and Dutch and Flemish master paintings of the 16^th and 17^th centuries.

Often celebratory, her subjects carry out unidentified ritualistic practices, simplistic but taken with such care and detail the actions appear theatrical, cinematic. Wilmer’s process brings us from concept to production and into post-production where she applies a distinct color palate to the work, much in the way a painter creates their signature.
