about

Sarah Rosella Cuevas is an artist living and working in the greater Portland, OR area. Born in Northern California, her father’s love for literature and her mother’s artful eye raised and nurtured her into the artist she is today. Sarah grew up with the women in her family constantly making clothing, textiles, and crafts. From a young age, Sarah knew that a goodness and a sacredness surrounded creativity.

Sarah embroiders symbols and images into fabric, clothing, and quilts. She both repurposes clothing and creates her own garments and tapestries. Finding a home in these historically humble craft traditions has been a journey of exploring both femininity and the tradition of a medium that is historically viewed as utilitarian.

With her work, Sarah strives to elevate the simple and the small, and to ask of those around her how they can slow down and find sacred in the ordinary.
