Sara Carter lives and works in San Francisco, California. A native of Houston, Carter attended the University of Texas and the San Francisco Art Institute where she received a B.F.A. Carter's paintings are a contrast between light and dark. While color is equally as important as contrast, it is through the hue and value that a synergetic relationship between color, form and contrast is created. The layering of geometric forms in Carter's work are used to convey space. Within this framework of constructed layers emerges a highly personal description of an environment charged with logical sequencing and subtle emotion.
