Sara Anstis
Bio
Sara Anstis was raised on a small island off the Canadian west coast, and draws and lives wherever she finds good light. Her images, installations and collaborative projects take shape through an intuitive exploration of memories and desires. In her soft pastel drawings, her unruly ‘primarily female’ figures can be found engaging in scenes of revelry and living tender moments within landscapes built from imagination. Anstis received a BFA from Concordia University in 2013, an MFA from Akademin Valand in 2016, and attended the Royal Drawing School postgraduate programme 2018. Most recently, her work has been shown at Fabian Lang gallery (Zurich); HARPY (NJ); Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran (Montreal); and 650mAh (UK). She is currently on residency in El Segundo, California.
