About the Artist
Sarah Hand is a papier-mâche artist, an illustrator, and an art teacher. A puppet show she created when she was 30 inspired her to pursue the art of papier-mâche in earnest. This messy, fun medium was an undiscovered well of inspiration for Sarah. Creating creatures, dolls, and puppets led her to teach the magic of papier-mâche to children and adults alike.
Sarah has taught for more than 15 years at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, Studio Two Three, art retreats, and online. Her work has been featured in Somerset Studio magazine, and she has had many solo art exhibits.
When she’s not elbows deep in paste and paper, you can find Sarah painting, drawing, and dreaming up stories and images for picture books.
Sarah lives and creates in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, Phil, and their three-legged cat, Roger.
For Phil, for believing in me forever. And for my mom, who has always encouraged my creativity.Dedication
