Sarah Bishop is a ceramic sculptor based in Connecticut. She attended college in Arundel, West Sussex, U.K. and learned to paint in the beautiful English countryside. It was there that she realized she wanted to be an artist.
Bishop moved to New York City to work in television, then to Connecticut to start a family. While working as a pottery studio assistant, Bishop fell in love with clay and discovered her passion for sculpting. She hand-builds her figurative, often mythological work, and uses found objects like seashells and orange peels to add texture.
Her sculpture blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Incorporating cultural elements from her extensive travels in Europe and Istanbul, her pieces bring inspiration, joy, and peace wherever they are displayed.
Bishop also uses art to communicate with her children, both diagnosed with multiple disabilities including autism. She is now the Director of an art and nature based preschool serving children and families in an early childhood setting and bringing families and community together.
She continues to provide intuitive spiritual counseling through her private practice “The Little Forest House Oracle”. She is a student of Morris Pratt and delivers inspirational talks on the topics of life, parenting and spirituality.
She continues to enjoy sharing her spiritual and artistic skills to students of all abilities and all ages. She lives in a small Connecticut shoreline town with her two children.
