Sarah Horvat is a published freelance illustrator and award-winning artist based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
She embraces a Renaissance-man approach reflected among her diverse interests and deeply rooted passions. Her portfolio possesses a wide range of media filled with symbolism and visual textures from realistic
to abstract, literal to allegorical, and figurative to organic. Art varies in size, media and presentation from works on paper and canvas to sculpture, installation and experimental.
Her illustrations have been featured in magazines, youth and adult books, and various media for the Northwestern Publishing House, WELS Synod publications, and arts organizations. Sarah's fine art has been in juried exhibitions
at galleries, museums, colleges, and businesses. She has participated in virtual exhibitions, Twitter.com-based and gallery-hosted art exchanges, ArtWalkTV, as well as traveling exhibitions and art community projects including Art House Gallery and the Brooklyn Art Library, New York.
Sarah was awarded the 1993 WELS Art Guild Golden Palette Award, selected for the prestigious Lakefront Festival of Art college exhibit and chosen as the Fine Arts Representative groundbreaker for the Wisconsin Lutheran College Center for the Arts (1995). She is recognized in various "Who's Who" publications (c. 1988-2002) for America's high schools, colleges and art museums, as well as for art and illustration 2009-2010, and again
recently nominated.
In 2008, Sarah more seriously focused on her art when her entire "Eve Series" was selected for the New York exhibition, Paradise Lost, that celebrated poet John Milton's 400th birthday at the Williamsburg Art &
Historical Center, Brooklyn. The then full series of drawings "Eve Regrets," "Tree of Life," and "Tree of Knowledge" were among select works of 60 international artists. Paradise Lost has received worldwide recognition. A "Tree of Life" giclée is in the permanent collection of the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center.
The Paradise Lost exhibition has and continues receiving worldwide recognition.
Sarah frequently exhibits in New York City, Brooklyn, and the greater New York area. She is a member of national groups including the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI/SCBWI-WI), the prestigious
National Association of Women Artists, Inc.,(N.A.W.A.), and Williamsburg Art & Historical Center Salon, New York, and locally the Cream City Illustrators. She has taught specialized multi-curriculum grade school art classes and
has been active in various arts community and collaborative think tank groups. She was a featured premiere showcase in Milwaukee Art Beat, Milwaukee's Unique Arts Showcase Series (2009) and later as the MAB Board's Community and Artist Liaison. Sarah has won a variety of awards and her art is in national and international private collections, as well as gallery collections including the public permanent Wickenheiser Collection of John Milton at the University of South Carolina.
