Sarah Thiessen - Contributing Artist

Sarah Thiessen is a self-taught visual artist living in Victoria, BC. Skilled in analogue light art, mixed-media sculpture, interactive festival installations, large-scale puppets, screen printing and graphic design, Sarah loves exploring new mediums and creating connections through collaborative projects. She is known for her playful, biology-inspired art that draws people in through vibrant colours and dream-like imagery, encouraging a child-like sense of curiosity and wonder.

Sarah has contributed her textural expertise to several of our interactive machines and honoured us with a drawing of her vision of the Artcade’s brightly coloured alien world.
