Who is Sarah?

Artist, author, and guide for the woman in the middle of becoming

Welcome. I am so glad you are here.

I am Dr. Sarah Andreas — a mixed media oil painter, author, and feminine leadership guide for women who are navigating the in-between spaces of their lives.

My work is rooted in one truth:
Transformation does not happen all at once. It happens in layers — just like paint.

From leadership scholar to transformational artist

For years, I studied identity and reinvention through the lens of leadership. I earned a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and an MBA, believing my path would be built through speaking, coaching, and academic work.

But in 2020, in a season of stillness I could not ignore, I realized something life-altering:

I was not meant to only study transformation. I was meant to live it — and then guide others through it.

Painting found me in that season. Not as a hobby, but as a doorway. What began as creative release became a spiritual practice, a form of listening, and the place where my own Wild Self returned.

Today, I create original mixed media oil paintings designed for women in transition — the woman who is no longer who she was and not yet who she is becoming.

My paintings are not just decorative. They are anchors — visual reminders of truth, resilience, softness, and the quiet power of reinvention.

I paint from my studio on our family farm in Ohio. My signature layered technique blends collage, acrylic washes, and luminous oil paint, echoing the layers of identity every woman moves through.

Collectors often tell me that my art reflects the part of them they are trying to remember. That is the deepest purpose of my work.

My philosophy: becoming is sacred

Transformation is not loud. It is not linear. And it never happens on a single layer. It is tender. It is courageous. It is an unfolding.

Every piece I create is for the woman:

• who is shedding an old identity,
• who knows something inside her is shifting,
• who craves clarity, beauty, and truth,
• who is ready to trust the woman she is becoming.

This is art for the in-between — for the moments when you are holding your breath between who you were and who you will be.

Beyond the canvas: writing, story, and ritual

In addition to original paintings and commissions, I am the author of Beauty from Chaos and Step Into the Ether: A Manifesto for Becoming. Both explore reinvention through art, emotional truth, storytelling, and the wisdom that rises when a woman finally stops running from herself.

My work expands beyond the canvas into guided art experiences, identity-based transformation, creative ritual, and reflective practices designed to bring women home to themselves.

This is the heart of my work:
helping women step into the next version of themselves with clarity, softness, courage, and beauty.

If you are in a season of becoming, you are in the right place

You do not have to have everything figured out. You do not have to know the whole path. You just have to be willing to listen to the truth rising inside you.

If you are craving art, beauty, and a deeper connection to the woman you are becoming, welcome. You have found your place.
