About the Artist

Sarah Ivancic is a fiber artist hailing from suburban Cleveland, Ohio. She holds a BFA in Fiber with a concentration in Experimental Fashion from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland.

Sarah’s passions lie in costuming, performance, and tedious embroideries and crochet. Her work, much of which occurs on the body, attempts to explore material, structure, cultural constructs, and their interactions with one another. Much of her influence comes from fashion of the 1920s-50s, burlesque, handicraft, and general curiosities.

When not in the studio, Sarah enjoys going to the local market, sitting in coffee shops, people watching, and snuggling with her 11-year-old, super fluffy puppy, Skippy. She is almost always over-dressed, enjoyably quirky, and can really pull off red lipstick.
