About Me
I am fascinated by notions of imagination, play, humor, and the experience of physicality as central components of the human experience, and with searching for rebellion in the form of embodied joy. I find inspiration in curated objects, the natural world, and in the imagined internal lives of animals.
My work is grounded in representation and enhanced with a healthy dose of imagination. I love exploring new materials and means of expression.
I am based out of NYC and Chester County, PA. I received a B.A. and J.D. from NYU, and was a lawyer and derivatives trader before becoming a professional artist. I studied at the Art Students League of New York, where I trained in drawing, painting, and printmaking. My original fine art and prints are now in private and corporate collections nationwide.

“Equally powerful in its ability to attune the viewer to their immediate surroundings is Sarah Chapman’s Eggcess. At once sculptural, performative, and relational, this work is billed as a hunt for 24kt gold-leafed eggs in the Big Apple. Impossible to ignore, this seemingly simple provocation invites the viewer to participate in the childhood game of hunting for eggs. Tantilizing the participant with finding the eggs ‘hidden in plain sight throughout Midtown Manhattan,’ the inclusion of gold incentivizes the hunt and creates exquisite visuals while layering the proceedings with the metaphor of the ‘golden egg.’ Signaling resurrection, the triumph over death, and the promise of eternal life in Christian mythology, the ‘hunt’ for these prises on city streets makes me think about what animates everyone else in the urban environment, who isn’t lucky enough to be searching for one of Chapman’s Eggcess eggs.”
