Seeking to understand local ecologies and their connection to wider global ecologies has been a stubborn passion. Her work is informed by rigorous academic pursuits paired with local projects focused on equity and accessibility of large ideas and aesthetics for all people. Sara brings together her years in education\, community organizing\, and consistent interest in conservation to her art practice to move collectors and participants to contemplation and action to protect the natural world. As a parent to 3 teens and partner to another advocate for youth\, she values mentoring the next generation with hope. Sara Wiens is a current graduate student in the Ecological and Sustainable Practices MFA program at Emily Carr University. She holds a BA in Studio Arts and a Bachelor of Art Education both from the University of British Columbia\, Vancouver. Currently\, she works from her studio situated on the stolen lands of the Secwepemc people of the North Okanagan in Salmon Arm\, British Columbia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        artist website    \n\n\n\n\nDiscover more about the First Friday Art Trail and explore participating artists across Greater Vernon — or get involved as a featured artist at VPAG.Learn More / Apply to Be a Featured Artist
