artist statement

Sarah Amacker’s paintings function as a visual diary rooted in autobiography and emotional observation. Using her own figure—often silhouetted or abstracted—she examines her evolving sense of self across shifting physical and psychological spaces.

She records personal experiences and feelings through various compositions, expressing how she moves through internal environments, personal challenges, societal pressures, and patterns of thought.

Centered in her own lived perspective, Amacker’s work emphasizes the importance of documenting the female experience as it is personally felt and remembered.
