Sara Alvord uses traditional oil painting, the beauty of the human soul, and the magnificence of nature to reflect upon the precious moments that fill each day. Sara’s paintings are created to influence the world by helping each of us become more aware of ourselves and others, learning to treasure the time we are given in our lives.

As a freelance artist, Sara Alvord expresses character through each person’s facial expressions and the grace and beauty of wildlife. Using a warm color palette and ultra-smooth linen canvas, she is able capture minute details of each subject. Following the great masters of the traditionalist style, Sara Alvord uses a golden mean canvas, aligning the focal points of her work through golden ratios.
