About

Sarah Spencer is an independent artist based in Washington State, creating acrylic and oil paintings. She has sustained a life-long passion for creating and especially for painting. She began with acrylics in high school, explored watercolors and gouache through her 20s, and finally tried oil painting in 2020, which has became her favorite medium.

When not drawing or painting, she can be found playing video games, rummaging through secondhand stores, or working through a never-ending to-watch list of movies.

Passionately anti-generative AI.
