Biography
Raised in Westfield, Indiana and currently based in the Southern Tier of New York State, Sara Kramer (b. 1994) is an artist who works in the uncomfortable spaces between 2d and 3d, art and craft, highbrow and lowbrow. Kramer studied at Purdue University as an undergraduate and earned an MFA from the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign in 2020. Her 2024 solo exhibition at the Bret Llewellyn Gallery at Alfred State College, Dazzle, was a collection of garments and drawings exploring dazzle camouflage and its application to identity and self-presentation. Kramer is the recipient of Alfred University’s Daniel Joseph Murphy II Memorial Award for Creativity and has won numerous teaching awards in her 7 years as a post-secondary arts educator. Kramer's practice incorporates soft sculpture, crochet, quilting, garment making, and drawing, using the interplay of image and object to create often humorously recursive bodies of work that mirror and distort.
