Sarah Rutledge Fischer Art Official page for the artist and writer Sarah Rutledge Fischer and her Fairhope,AL studio. And the final and most important figure in the work?

Over and over, I find myself drawn to people--their faces, the bodies that carry them through the world, and the stories they gather along the way. Whether in the smooth shapes and lines of my figure drawings or the curious faces of the figures who emerge in my intuitive paintings and mixed media work, my art is steeped in the stories, emotions, expressions, and character that the human figure bri

ngs to the page and the canvas. You the viewer, who bring with you all of your life's experiences and associations to pull from my work your own connections and understanding. Oh, were you hoping for the more practical details about me? Of course, my friend. I live and work in the beautiful South Alabama town of Fairhope, where I live with my family, my dogs, and an indeterminate number of honeybees. But I am so grateful for the internet, email, and social media which allow me to connect with and learn from people all over the world---people just like you.

No one in my house likes the Mose T chair I picked up a few years ago at an . That’s just fine with me.

I’ve shifted it into my art space, and I’m going to let it support me bodily and spiritually as I dive into my inner critic practice today.

This morning I did a quick card pull on this tarot app and drew The Tower—16th card in the major arcana and an indication of a sudden shift, a major change, an upheaval.

I’ve been getting this message over and over from different sources for about a week. I feel its truth. Everything feels bent to the point of almost breaking, and so many of the people I know and love feel the same way.

I keep trying to stay open to the shift, to be ready to flow with the inevitable upheaval. I don’t feel like it is worth worrying about what the particular shift might be. Change is life, as Octavia Butler taught.

I’m not trying to invite it or hurry it. I can think of far too many sudden changes that would be awful . But I also feel its inevitability—the tension of its potential energy. It is palatable and uncomfortable. I can feel it in my teeth and my bones.

It will shift and soon. And the tower will fall.

I have never been a fan of a last-minute scramble, but what is a kitchen peninsula for if not for art?

These messy backgrounds are for my paper doll workshop tomorrow. It will be a small group, because my lack of studio space had me holding back on promoting it. But sometimes small workshops are the best.

Prepping work for my show at Oyster City Mobile. How great does this one look in the floating frame!

The Opening is this Friday, from 6-8 pm, but the show will hang all month.

Stop by, grab a delicious local beer, and take something home.

I’m taking a little break from my Thresholds LLC - Mediation Services work this morning to finish a few new pieces before my Oyster City Mobile opening on the 14th.

This Work-In-Progress continues to surprise me at every turn.

Moving out of my studio space has been hard work, but there have definitely been some bright sides.

Last week, I got to meet budding Mobile Artist Barklie who came to buy a piece of furniture and left with a piece of artwork that spoke to her soul.

I am not sure there is anything better than that moment when I see someone connect with one of my pieces in a way that defies all of our understanding. I am always so honored to be the conduit for that connection.

Good luck on your art journey, Barlkie! I can't wait to see the work that pours out of you.

A year ago, I lost my beautiful studio space when I stepped away from an empty marriage and walked towards truth and freedom. Now, after months and months of problems and delay, my new studio—only steps from my front door—is almost ready. My soul has ached for this creative space. I cannot wait to welcome you in. #srfcreates #intuitiveart #fairhopeartist

Moving Sale
Moving Sale

I am moving out of my Studio space. (Don’t worry. I have a new one in the works.) The work in this video is priced between $40 and $800, but I’d really rather not have to move it into storage. If there is something you are interested in, now is the time to make an offer. Not nearby? No worries. I can ship it!

Have you ever spent time preparing and preparing and preparing only to realize that endless preparation was just procrastination? What is it that you are ready or not ready to dive into the deep end on? #dogwalkthoughts #srfcreates #transition #procrastination #preparing #mediation

In our western Christian cultural calendar, today is the day of anticipation. Today is the day of the question not yet answered. Whether you celebrate, religiously, celebrate, culturally, or don’t celebrate at all, it is steep in the fabric of our current society. If you know me at all, you know that I love the anticipation, the question, the surprise not yet revealed. So you won’t be surprised that I love Christmas Eve. Today’s Christmas Eve is very different than any other I have navigated. But it feels like a quiet, earnest, melancholy gift. What does today hold for you? Is it a day of anticipation? Is it a day of busy preparation? Whatever it is, I hope there are moments when you can sit with yourself in quiet anticipation. Joyful eve to all of you, my friends. #srfcreates #dogwalkthoughts #changes #christmaseve #divorceishard #adifferentchristmasthisyear #mychristmaseve #ilovetherain #murphydog
