Sarah Duet (b. 1988) is a mixed-media artist from Louisiana. Layers, texture, and depth unify her work across mediums – from large-scale abstract paintings, to graphic art and collage, to erasure poetry.

Grounded by the use of found, natural elements and inspired by the waterscapes of the Gulf South, her work is exploratory, investigative, instinctual, and infused with emotion. Sarah makes art that is meant to live alongside you, bringing a sense of calm vitality into your everyday spaces. By inviting viewers to slow down and reflect, she seeks to foster connection in this increasingly fragmented world.
Sarah has exhibited work at the Meadows Museum of Art, Clean Slate Botanicals, Artspace, and RAW the studio. Her art and writing have been published in Point of Vue Magazine, Art House America, Heliopolis, Pandora Art and Literary Magazine, and Enneagram Magazine. Her first book of blackout poetry, WHAT HAPPENED IS HAPPENING: Poems, was published in 2022.
With a background in music, intentional community, and athletics, she synthesizes a diverse range of interests and experience in her dynamic body of work. When she’s not in the studio, you might find her shooting hoops, drinking coffee, or playing her guitar.
Sarah lives and works in Shreveport, LA, with author-illustrator, Kirk Reedstrom, and their very sneezy cat.
