Throughout fifteen years of creative experience and artistic practice…
Sarah Brewington Baarns has worked among the (seemingly irreconcilable) worlds of both academic fine art and corporate creativity. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design (with an entirely accidental minor in Art History) from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, as well as her Master of Fine Arts degree in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts in New York, New York. Her mentors at both institutions sparked her passion for photography, leading her to accrue a wide variety of photographic experiences.
She has worked as a corporate photographer for Publix Super Markets, held adjunct positions at three colleges, produced a sizable portfolio of freelance work, exhibited nationally as a fine art photographer, and led a digital marketing agency’s media team as their department manager. Today, she teaches as an adjunct professor at Florida Southern College, an art instructor at the Polk Museum of Art, and is reconnecting with her freelance photographic pursuits.
