Sarah Newton is a San Francisco artist who works primarily on paper in a variety of media including drawing, etching, and woodblock printing.

Sarah has a degree in printmaking from the California College of the Arts, and her drawings have been included in New American Paintings, Manifest Drawing Center’s International Drawing Annual, and recent work exploring the landscapes of the San Francisco Bay shoreline were featured in Bay Nature magazine. She has also created an artist’s book through the SF Center for the Book’s Imprint Publications’ series of small plates books. Residencies include Playa, Monson Arts, Penland School of Crafts Winter Residency and Fellowship in printmaking, and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts.
