The Radial Arts Center is excited to present “The Sky is Always There For Us,” a solo exhibition showcasing original artwork by Sarah Craw.
The sky offers comfort, solidarity, and endless possibility, providing solace in moments of joy, despair, hope, or loss. For Sarah, the warmth of the sun has always been a source of comfort, and this exhibition reflects her journey over the past decade, capturing moments when the sky brought hope, clarity, and confirmation. Through photographs, journal entries, poems, and paintings, she shares personal experiences that continue to bring her joy and meaning. The exhibition celebrates the sky’s fleeting displays, from the soft pastels of dawn to the fiery intensity of sunset, contrasting heavily saturated areas with the simplicity of negative space and muted colors, capturing a range of moods from glowing clouds to stormy grays.
Sarah’s abstract work, like nature itself, allows the mind to explore multiple interpretations. She invites the materials to speak through texture and form, letting the water and canvas guide the process to something beyond her control. Her intent is to inspire creativity in others, leaving space for imagination to fill the quiet spaces in her art. Sarah was raised in McCook, Nebraska and currently lives in Omaha, working as a freelance artist. She is a leader in the arts community and is the Executive Director of the Radial Arts Center in Benson where she runs WordPlay Gallery.
