Sarah Bishop is a ceramic sculptor based in Connecticut. She attended college in Arundel, West Sussex, U.K. and learned to paint in the beautiful English countryside. It was there that she realized she wanted to be an artist.

Bishop moved to New York City to work in television, then to Connecticut to start a family. While working as a pottery studio assistant, Bishop fell in love with clay and discovered her passion for sculpting. She hand-builds her figurative, often mythological work, and uses found objects like seashells and orange peels to add texture.

Her sculpture blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Incorporating cultural elements from her extensive travels in Europe and Istanbul, her pieces bring inspiration, joy, and peace wherever they are displayed.

Bishop also uses art to communicate with her children, both diagnosed with multiple disabilities including autism. She now teaches art, sharing her skills with students of all ages and abilities, helping them build self-confidence while learning new techniques.
