Sarah Vogt
"My work explores the interaction between different cultures, blending elements of nostalgia and personal memories from my American experience. Born in Denver, Colorado, I moved to New Zealand in 2014, and my art reflects the feeling of belonging to multiple places at once. Through my work, I want to show the contrasts and connections between these cultures and how they shape identity.
I’m inspired by artists like Alex Gross, Chloe Early, Wendy Sharpe, Claude Monet, Patricia Derks, and Kim Smith, whose styles influence how I use colour, composition, and storytelling to bring my experiences to life."
