Meet Sarah

I’m Sarah — the artist behind Thistle Lane.

My creative journey began down a dead end dirtroad called Thistle Lane in the rolling Osage Hills of rural NE Oklahoma. There my childhood was shaped by the country life on a little ranch in a big family.

Diagnosed with AuDHD at 41, I finally understood why my brain never stops buzzing and why making art is one thing that brings me peace. When I am creating, the noise of the world fades away as I get lost in the process. It bring me joy and lights up my heart. I use different mediums such as polymer clay, resin, my original photography, paint mediums and other things to explore the details, textures, and stories that are often overlooked. 

Every piece I create reflects a part of my heart. Rooted in resilience from tragic losses to holding hope through difficult transitions. Starting over, laughing and enjoying life — this art is how I express the beauty I see in the world around me, and the celebration of life I am thankful to live.

I hope you feel something familiar here. Something grounding, something hopeful. Thank you for stopping by, supporting me and being part of the journey.

At Thistle Lane, my mission is to create art that reflects the beauty of the natural world, celebrates resilience through life’s hardest seasons, and brings peace, connection and joy to those who experience it. I turn memory into matter and texture into story.
