Sarah Garcia is a visual artist from San Diego, working predominantly with clay and found organic materials. Her practice is rooted in exploring personal and shared connections developed, maintained, and altered through her life experiences. Objects are a focal point of her work, reflecting individual and collective experiences, histories, hopes, dreams, and intentions. Sarah creates opportunities for play and experimentation with clay for students of all ages and abilities, intending to facilitate meaningful access to expressive material deeply rooted in shared human experience. Through her collaborations with other artists, educators, and community activists, she works to develop community-centered projects, exhibitions, and workshops focused on art as public expression, engagement, and service. Garcia works in the San Diego City College art department and is an MFA candidate at San Diego State University.
