A young female circus performer and her pony take a break from practicing on a sunny day in the artwork "Run away and join the Circus". This image is one of fantasy travel and escapism in which the viewer can be transported temporarily into the life of circus performers and their daily adventures. This painting is a part of the larger series "Untitled Women": my female relatives were quilters, cooks, and crafters. Although they did not call themselves artists, they decorated their spaces by adorning their walls with stencils, embroidering pillows, and stitching doilies. A home holds dreams fulfilled, forgotten, and foiled. While sifting through old magazines I collected, among other things, images of women that seemed particularly telling about female roles and self-image. The imagery became the starting point for several paintings and collages.

I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. Primarily I work with paint, but I have been animating my paintings and collages for the past ten years. With these mediums, I enjoy telling the story of a person or place. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street, currently in its ninth year. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
