Sarah Dougherty makes site-specific paintings in neighborhoods where she lives. She taught critical pedagogy to bicultural youth through weekly art classes in North Carolina and currently gives workshops and lectures as a painting MFA student at UCLA in land, art, diversity, and site-specific painting. In order to teach native Spanish-speakers better, she has lived and worked in Mexico City and will be studying pluri-national education (Western and Indigenous) while painting in Bolivia this summer.
Her living practice means bartering many works with the people who inhabit the places she paints, as well as creating reciprocity with the social and natural sites depicted. She is currently developing a workshop at the Baldwin Hills State Park with LA youth from YouTHink based on cooking with medicinal weeds and making paper from invasive plants. Her work was included last month in the Pacific edition of New American Paintings.
