Fine Art by Sarah Andreas

In 2019, after earning my PhD in Organizational Leadership, I envisioned a future traveling across the U.S., sharing insights on personal leadership and growth. But a pivotal coaching retreat in early 2020 set me on a dramatically different path, just as the world entered the stillness of lockdown. This period became a powerful crucible for transformation, one that led me to exchange coaching sessions with peers and dive deeply into my own journey.

During this time, I initiated a research study on creative practices and leadership development, which, in a serendipitous twist, led me to painting—a medium I had never explored before. Encouraged by an artist friend and guided through the Milan Art Mastery program, I felt an immediate, profound connection to mixed media oil painting. Each piece became a process of discovery and expression, and to my surprise and delight, my art began to resonate with others and sell.

This journey was not without its challenges, including an identity shift that brought the very themes I sought to share—growth, inspiration, and transformation—into focus. In 2023, I dedicated myself to creating ‘meaningful’ interactions and experiences, deepening my connection to the life I was shaping. By 2024, this evolved into a commitment to "have a love affair with life," a passion I now strive to share through every piece I create.

Today, my goal is to create art that speaks to the soul, serving as a catalyst for personal transformation and growth. Each piece I craft invites others into their own journey, celebrating resilience, beauty, and the infinite potential within.
