Background
​
I'm Sara Brandenburg, the artist behind Wild Studio. I created Wild Studio as a way of combining all of my various works into a visual portfolio of sorts. I'm a Colorado Native raised in the Rocky Mountains, and I fell in love with art at a very young age. I have no classical art training aside from basic school art classes: My degree is actually in Wildlife Biology. However, art has been a part of my life since I was a child, and I've always been drawn to the artistic process as a way of expression, communication, and relaxation. Although art isn’t my career, it’s a part of my personality and an expression of my own personal reality.

Inspiration
​
My inspiration is drawn largely from my love of the natural world, exploration, and adventure– I strive to achieve the feeling of wonder and deep connection that I have experienced throughout my life. This largely lends itself to images and sculptures of landscapes and animals; However, I'm also inspired by people, society, and the conflicts and struggles of the world.
The "Studio" in Wild Studio
​
My biology career keeps me on the road for various seasonal field work jobs in many beautiful and often remote locations. Despite this, I’ve always kept art as a part of my life, so my “studio” is a suitcase of art supplies that I take with me wherever I go. I also carry a basic watercolor setup with me on many of my hikes and backpacking trips, so my studio is often simply a nice spot with a view!
