ABOUT
Sarah Tinsley
Originally from the Bay Area, I am a Visual artist and designer completing a BFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York City (May 2026). I work across painting, drawing, sculpture, and video. My practice centers on personal photographs: images of friends, family, and myself, captured in organic, awkward moments.
​
By using digital manipulation as an extension of the photographic process, I hope to solidify moments in time while also adding my own commentary through these alterations. Translating these images into oil paint slows the process down, giving physical weight to moments that were once quick and disposable. Rather than making overt political statements, my work embraces humor, discomfort, and the strange beauty of everyday life. Serving as small windows into moments that lie somewhere between laughter and unease, and reflect what it means to be human.
