Artist Biography

Sarah Hessinger is an emerging abstract painter who lives and works in Hawai'i. Her decades of experience cultivating gardens, herbalism, and early childhood education deeply inform her artistic practice. In 2024, she attended her first artist residency in Manhattan, NY, at The Living. Her painting, Tethered, was acquired in 2023 by PeaceHealth Medical Group in Washington for its public collection. She has exhibited in numerous online and in-person group shows in Seattle, Portland, Maui, Chicago, San Francisco, NY, and the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Novato, CA. A solo show in 2018 and recognition in an international contest sponsored by Juxtapoz Magazine were early catalysts in her commitment to exhibiting her work.
