Biography

Sara Ransford received her BFA from CU Boulder (1984), where she studied under Betty Woodman and Anne Currier.  She has been an artist in residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, CO and has also taught workshops there and at other places in Colorado. In 2001 she was a special student in Ceramics at Alfred University.

She writes about her work, “I explore the natural world in my sculptural forms. I am fascinated by the complexity in nature, and how that complexity reflects itself in our own world. The forces of erosion, the aspect of time, and things being created over eons, only to be changed in a single moment can create such vulnerability and duplicity in things we do not anticipate changing. These components culminate to represent the monumentality of even the most intimate, complex spaces.
