Sarah Sohraby

Sarah comes from a small village, Eze, wedged between Monaco and Nice, on the French Riviera. The view from her childhood house was of the mediterranean sea, surrounded by the Alpes Maritimes mountain range.
She obtained a MD in Belgium, then studied in the USA towards a PhD. She cared for patients, taught at medical schools, and had a reserach lab, working in Belgium, the US, and the Republic of the Congo.
After retiring from academia, Sarah went to live in California where she met Cathy Grawin, an artist and teacher in Solana Beach. Cathy inspired her to start her artist's career. She keeps herself in check by remembering Cathy's favorite and liberating quotes "Not every piece is a masterpiece", and "Thank God for the gesso".
