Exceptional Alumni of THE Arts Award
|
Sarah Molinsky Fisher ‘82
Since the earliest days at Oldenburg, art has been a crucial part of the curriculum for a well rounded Academy student. In 2017, The Arts Award was created to honor alumni who impact their community with their artistic skills that were nurtured at the Academy. This inaugural award is being given to Sarah Molinsky Fisher ‘82. Upon graduating from I.C.A. Sarah earned her marketing degree from the University of Notre Dame. Her ongoing education includes time in England, the Netherlands and the Glassell School of Art in Houston, TX. She and her husband Ken have moved regularly with the demands of his job. Amidst the challenges of traveling and raising a family, Sarah finds inspiration in her artwork. When living in Singapore, she designed and developed a greeting card line called “SkyWoman” which symbolized women’s strength and empowerment. Sarah’s image was loaned to a Non-Profit Breast Cancer group in honor of her mother. Sarah also designed a logo for an anti-bullying program entitled +Works (PositiveWorks) which she co-founded. Her distinctive logo with a blue and black Plus Sign is found at both public and private school events declaring them “positive zones” where high expectations for positive behavior are clear for all who attend. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Sarah volunteered at the NRG Stadium which housed thousands of people displaced by the storm. Sarah snapped a photo of the volunteers she had been working with and painted the image to lifesize. It was titled “That was Harvey - This is Houston” and demonstrates the diversity and resilience in the people of Houston, TX. This painting and other pieces of her work can be found at exhibitions in and around the Houston area. Her media includes painting, drawing, oil on canvas, mixed media, and photography. Her subjects include people of various ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Congratulations to Sarah Molinsky Fisher ‘82 on receiving the 2018 Alumni Arts Award. |
