Sarah Fukami was born and works in Denver, Colorado and received her BFA with distinction from the University of Denver in 2014. She has completed residencies at RedLine and PlatteForum and collaborated with the Denver Art Museum and The Children’s Museum.

She has and continues to participate in exhibitions locally and nationally. Specializing in mixed-media printmaking, her work ranges from traditional techniques to straddling the line between two- and three-dimensional by utilizing unconventional materials and methods such as Plexiglas and laser cutting.

Her artwork focuses on the development and evolution of identity, particularly in relation to the immigrant experience. Her Japanese family was interned during WWII, and her art is ultimately rooted in social justice. Most recently, she has become interested in the dissemination of history by searching through national archives, investigating unknown stories from records and photographs.
