Sara Stites

Born in NYC in 1955, I have lived in Texas, Connecticut, the Florida Keys and now Miami. I have been working on paper for the last 7 years with watercolor, ink, graphite and chalk. I also make sculptures. Starting with small cartoon-like sketches, I work to bring the forms to life - many times using hairy lines and fleshy imagery that some find grotesque. I also combine human and animal forms in my drawings and also in my sculpture.
