Arlington, VA
Sarah Bentley was born in the late 80’s in Virginia to civil servants of the federal government, and grew up with an awareness of current events that dictated her parent’s careers. Even when living abroad, the shadow of DC still reached her in Tanzania and Saudi Arabia.
Attending the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore with an intent to major in painting, she thrived in the illustration department, graduating in 2009 with a BFA. Her career plans as a concept artist were crushed by the economic collapse of 2008. Driven to refine her drawing skills, she chose to attend the Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. Completing the program in 2014, she returned to DC to build her career as an artist, using her work to reflect and express political awareness and exploring modern aesthetics and values with traditional compositions and techniques.
