About the Artist

Sara TangSara Tang (she/her/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based out of Pittsburgh, a member of the #notwhite Collective, the Digital Content Curator for Anthropology of Motherhood, and a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators.

My creative practice (draw me in) is mindful of drawing people in to a deeper empathic encounter with themselves, with their communities, and with what is strange and beautiful about humanity and existence.  Drawing something in can be a creative act, but also, an encounter— of being Drawn In to the profound beauty of our shared humanity with one another.

Identifying our experiences helps us to thrive and build a greater awareness of authenticity with ourselves and our communities. My creative workshops, projects, and collaborations often explore multiracial and multicultural identity, the power of knowing and shaping our stories, and understanding the complexities of our health and wellbeing.

I often use reclaimed and discarded materials as well as creative processes to illuminate the mystical and sacred deeply embedded in our lives and surroundings. I identify as a multicultural woman with Appalachian Pennsylvanian and Maine roots. I am a first generation and second generation immigrant. My familial and cultural roots reach to northern Thailand, Guangdong in China, the Tuscan region of Italy, Bavaria in Germany, Scotland, and Wales. Deep faith traditions from both the West and East have been a part of my life. Mountains, stones, the sea, the forests, the land have all formed and continue to form me.
