SUMMARY:August—Sarah B. Hansen\, "Untamed Bloom"
DESCRIPTION:Softly Spoken \n\nS A R A H  B. H A N S E N \n  \nThe opening reception Sarah B. Hansen’s exhibit is August 1\,\nfrom 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk. \n“This series grew out of a deep need to express the wild\, unbound\nenergy I see pulsing through both nature and the human spirit.\nThese paintings are my way of honoring that raw life force—\nthe kind that shows up in the wildflowers pushing through\ncracked sidewalks\, leaning into the wind\, or blooming in tangled\,\nforgotten corners of the world.” \n  \n\n  \n\n\nFire Within \nEach painting becomes a meditation on energy—raw\, free\, and unapologetically vibrant.\nThe wildflowers are portrayed in their natural environments\, not as carefully curated garden\nspecimens but as spontaneous bursts of color and form\, rising defiantly from the earth\, dancing with the wind\,\nthriving in chaos. Untamed Bloom captures the essence of wildflowers not as delicate ornaments of nature\,\nbut as fierce expressions of life’s uncontainable force. \n  \n\nDancing Laughter \n  \n“Wildflowers have always fascinated me. They don’t ask for permission to exist—they just do.\nTheir colors\, shapes\, and movement seem to come from some deep instinct\, an urgency to live fully\,\nno matter the conditions. I wanted to capture that—how beauty and vitality often thrive in the margins\,\nhow chaos and harmony can exist together.” \n  \n\nEnthusiasm \n  \nThese works spotlight negative shape as a way to amplify presence through absence.\nThe space around each bloom is as meaningful as the flower itself—those gaps\, hollows\, and shadows\necho the emotional pauses and voids we all carry. Through these forms\, the viewer is invited to feel\nnot just what is seen\, but what is felt: resilience in fragility\, movement in stillness\, and growth through adversity.\nThose empty forms mirror the pauses in life: the uncertainty\, the loneliness\,\nthe moments of stillness before something shifts. \n  \n\nAbounding Joy\n \n  \nThere is a powerful parallel drawn between nature and the human condition.\nLike wildflowers\, we emerge in unexpected places\, shaped by the environments that test us.\nThe tangled stems and unpredictable compositions mirror the emotional complexities and internal struggles we face.\nThe contrast of bold color against the quiet of negative space reflects how joy\, grief\, love\, and loss often live side by side.\nIn that way\, the work is deeply personal. \n“Every flower in this series holds a different emotional tone—sometimes vibrant and loud\, other times soft and unraveling. They reflect the ups and downs\, the breakthroughs and breakdowns we all move through as humans. This work isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. About showing up in all our messy\, radiant\, ever-changing states.” \n  \n\nBalance \nUltimately\, Untamed Bloom is not just about the beauty of wildflowers it is a love letter to resilience.\nTo the beauty of not being cultivated or controlled\, the emotional wilderness we all carry inside us\, and to the\ncourage it takes to bloom anyway. It’s about honoring the emotional landscapes we traverse\, a visual poem to survival\, vulnerability\, and the often messy\, always miraculous nature of being alive. \n  \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you during our First Friday opening this Friday. Come and chat with the artists and see the artwork throughout the gallery from 3-7pm\, August 1\, or throughout the month. \n•    •    •   •   • \nTake in all of the galleries and studios in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co.  (the hub)\, and various stores host artists for the First Friday Gallery Walk every month.
