Versatile and eclectic, Sarah Frary's art ranges from whimsical to desperate, contorted to elegant - her talent is conjured from a feverish impulse and an instinctive intuition. She creates to communicate but prefers that the meaning be left to the interpretation of the viewer.

As an artist she thrives on the challenges of artistic growth and is forever hungry to conquer new mediums and to express herself in ways she might not have otherwise considered. Although her strongest voice is pen and ink, she is quick to try anything she can get her hands on, from paints to pastels and even the art of tattooing.

From a young age she embarked on the assertive path to make a name for herself by promoting her art and her name through the convention circuit. Deciding that art school was not something that she felt to be necessary for her purpose, Sarah is entirely self-taught and found inspiration and influence through simply living life; such as embarking on various adventures in the wilderness, experiencing the delicate and always questionable lessons of the human condition, fulfilling her days with the atmospheric power of music, and most importantly drawing motivation from surrounding artists who sparked the muse in her. It is in this way that her work is most brutally honest and entirely heartfelt in every stroke.

Sarah became nomadic and restless through a military upbringing, where uprooting and relocation were as common as breathing. She has lived all over the United States, both through the means of her family and then on her own impulsive whim.

Currently she thrives, dances, and loves the red hills and a wily cowboy in the wilds of Ten Sleep, Wyoming, having been brought to the area through Shreve Stockton of the Daily Coyote. When hired on to assist the author, Sarah relocated abruptly from the curiously eccentric homestead of Louisville, Kentucky, where she was favored for her tattooing skills, multiple live art gigs and a solo gallery exhibition. Her love for Wyoming bridges back to her youth and for the first time in her life she feels to be at Home. Now she owns and operates her own private tattoo studio, Bighorn Tattoo, where she specalizes in original, meaningful, and custom works of skin art. In the downtime, she continues to spin the web of her many artistic endeavors, and with the mountains as her backyard, there is always room for exploration and communion: both with herself and the untamed, breathlessly beautiful surroundings that inspire her.

Sarah Frary is always available for personal and commercial commissions, and can be reached through e-mail or by phone. For friendly exchanges, she likes receiving hand-written letters just as much as she enjoys writing them back.
