Sarah Ahearn About
hello!
My name is Sarah Ahearn and I am painter from New England. My mixed media paintings are layered with found images, fragments of text from old books, and pieces of outdated maps. These ephemera become the fabric and focus of many of my paintings. *ALL WORK IS COPYRIGHT SARAH AHEARN.* If you'd like to use my images please contact me first. thank you.
