Sara Hartland-Rowe

Sara Hartland-Rowe’s studio practice is based in painting, in which mode she has made installation and site-based works as well as easel-painting and paintings on shaped surfaces. Her work is characterized by energetic experimentation with materials, process and structure, and an equally ongoing interest in human beings as the subject of her work.

Sara Hartland-Rowe is a painter who has lived in Nova Scotia for the last 15 years. She received a BFA from NSCAD in 1990, before moving to Chicago to complete an MFA.
