Sara Bardin started creating art in 2009 to relieve herself from the daily stresses of life. She began with portraits of her family members. A few years later, while visiting the national US Botanic Garden, she became inspired to paint flowers.
She found that a flower’s beauty, color, and texture evoked deep emotions. She aims to convey this emotion through the color and artistry of her botanical renderings. Her family means the world to her.
She has a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from the University of Dayton and studied painting at The Compass Atelier. She has exhibited at the Maryland Federation of Art, Montgomery Arts Association, Glen Echo Park, Hill Center Galleries, and Washington ArtWorks.

Sara Bardin
When she is not painting, she spends time with her daughters. Whether attending volleyball games or catching a movie, the time she spends with them is priceless. She also has them critique her work. She has been known to go back into a painting on the advice of one of her daughters after she believed it to be finished.
She currently resides in Washington, DC with her husband and two daughters. Her acrylic floral paintings are known for their vibrant colors and emotional depth. She uses layering, blending, and impasto techniques to bring flowers to life on canvas. Her work captures the delicate beauty of nature while expressing her personal connection to each subject.
