Sarah Gibeault is a Métis artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her experiments in abstraction are explorations based on her traditional training in fine art.
Her work engages with place as a means of escape through self expression. Creating spaces as a shelter away from the omnipresent, ever-demanding digital feeds that we wade through each day. Spaces that facilitate reflection, individuality and healing.
These works are self generating through a process of letting go of that external world and allowing the mind travel where it may. The pieces lack concrete representation and instead leverage relationships between colour, pattern, shape and individual sovereignty.

Current Explorations
Sarah’s current work owes to her background working with textiles, repeat patterns, and time painting landscapes. Her work relates to both New York’s history of Abstract Expressionists and Canadian Landscape Painters. She identifies strongly with theory from the Bauhaus School because of her time at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, working in a very practical systematic way. A working artist almost as engineer, or designer.
As a Gallerist:
Beside her painting practice, Sarah works as Founder and Gallery Co-Director at Isadore&Dunn Gallery, developing the work of emerging artists around New York City and the Northeast, as well as Canada.
