Sarah Ellis Clark

I practice reading, studying, playing, making, reusing, and printmaking in living rooms and studios. I practice as a way to seek care & ease.

I am an artish & bookish person of settler ancestry who grew up in rural Alberta on Treaty 7 territories but am currently living by the ocean in the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

My formal schooling resulted in a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Diploma in Library & Information Technology.
