“From The Sketchbook” Drawings by Sarah Alexander August 27 – September 28, 2019

Sarah Alexander is a contemporary artist who works with multiple materials and mediums with a focus on watercolor,

drawing and painting using unconventional surfaces and techniques. Her work is highly detailed, layered and fluid. She

work focuses on her wonderful and unusual drawings.
