This painting on depicts a boombox sitting on the grass illuminated by twilight blue light. I stumbled upon the boombox during one of my night walks in Tower Grove Park. I was immediately taken with the blue colors of the boombox and grass and I photographed the moment. Later when I went to paint this image, I started the painting using pthalo and cobalt blues that became the colors around which I built the painting. Other blues came into play to build the light on the boombox and the shadows in the grass- ultramarine, cerulean, and then sap green. The repeated strokes and shapes in the grass and the rhythmic repetition of peaceful colors of this painting work to form an image that feels like illustrated jazz music. I hope the viewer will feel relaxation and nostalgia looking at this image. This painting is on linen.

My art centers engagement with social change through the sharing of stories in community spaces. I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. I examine identity through illustrating stories that are intimate and comment on larger social issues. Primarily I work with paint, but I additionally construct animated films made from my artwork, using stop motion animation techniques. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
