Sarah Woods attributes her crisp bold colors and dramatic lighting to her life at high altitude. For Sarah, one of the most rewarding parts of her career is being able to live in the remote and wildlife rich mountains of Southern Colorado with her husband and two daughters. For the past fifteen years, while living in the Wet Mountains outside of tiny Westcliffe, Colorado she has had the ability to see wildlife and wild places on a daily basis. It has had a profound impact on her work. Although she often paints the inspirirng landscapes of the west as well as the beauty of rural ranch life, it is the wildlife that she is most known for. Having lived most of her life in Wyoming and Colorado, Sarah feels passionate about the disappearing western landscape and feels a responsibility to document it's fragile beauty.

Throughout much of Sarah's 22 year career she built her reputation as a water media artist. Today however, her medium of choice is oil. "I love the spontaneity it gives me. The richness and strength of the pigment is a perfect match for my sense of color. I am enjoying myself as an oil painter more than any time in my career, and I think it shows in my work." Today she exhibits in such prestigious shows as the National Wildlife Art Museum's Western Visions, Cheyenne Frontier Days Show and Sale and Birds in Art.
