Sarah Mandell is a self-taught fiber artist living in Greenville, SC. She received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2005, and balances her time between working as an interior designer and running her handmade business, Once Again Sam. She lives to create.
Sarah has been an avid needle-felter for years, sculpting fiber in 3D, but her new series of wool landscape paintings is challenging her to work in 2D for the first time. Using dyed wool as paint and a barbed felting needle as a paintbrush, she is now exploring a familiar medium in a whole new way.
Ever since a life-changing move to South Carolina in 2010, Sarah has been inspired by the irregular patterns of the Lowcountry, the wide-open spaces of the midlands, and the colorful layers of the upstate. Her wool landscape series “Fibers of the South” showcases scenes from all around this beautiful state she now calls home.
