SARAH ST CLAIR RENARD :: ( BIOGRAPHY / SYNOPSIS )
"Having grown up behind the stage in a theater, there was something that felt completely right about implying stories and narratives in images. I moved to Los Angeles from Sweden two days after high school to pursue my dreams in the city that worship a sub-human artificiality and hit you over the head with the reality of the human condition at the same time. I have remained and become immersed. "
"I try to make images that capture something and pulls a truth out of the viewer, something the two of us have in common that creates a connection we would never establish on a person-to-person level.
I make images to quiet my on-going questions about life. To get the images out of my head and secured onto paper so my brain feels free to wander on and my eyes to sweep over the landscape freely.

Powerful and provocative images spring from her innate sense of contemporary styling and design.
