Let’s get in touch!
Hi, I’m Sara.
Aside from bonseki, I enjoy learning about ikebana (art of floral design), chadō (way of tea), and kōdō (way of fragrance). These traditional arts offer a restorative counterbalance to modern life and inform my bonseki teaching practice.
I am committed to the cultural stewardship and contemporary transmission of bonseki in the United States, working in partnership with museums, community organizations, and recovery-focused spaces. I offer bonseki instruction, including workshops at the Denver Art Museum and the Arvada Center for Arts & Humanities.
My work also extends into therapeutic and recovery settings, including Denver Health and The Gathering Place, through grant-funded community programming supported by RedLine Contemporary Art Center.
In addition to in-person teaching, I am developing broader educational and media initiatives to expand awareness of this rare art form in the West.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or resources you may wish to share!
