Sarah Clinton is a painter based in Nashville, TN working with a variety of media to capture the people, places, and things that hold significance in our lives.

Her artistic journey began after the birth of her daughter, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder (SynGAP1), which causes intellectual disability and other challenges. Navigating the complexities of parenting a child with special needs, painting emerged as a therapeutic outlet for Sarah to process her emotions. Observing her daughter's distinct perspective on the world, Sarah continually reframes her own outlook. This unique lens is applied to her work where she strives to capture the beauty in unnoticed or mundane moments. 

Sarah's work is currently showcased in the Soundwaves Gallery at the Nashville Soccer Club's GEODIS Park, and her Nashville-themed pieces were recently displayed in the Flying Solo Exhibition at the Nashville airport. Additionally, her paintings are regularly featured in juried art shows throughout Nashville. As a proud member of the Chestnut Group, an organization dedicated to plein air painting for land conservation and preservation, Sarah is committed to leveraging her art for positive change. She was instrumental in launching the inaugural Fearlessly and Wonderfully Created Fine Art Show, benefiting Saddle Up!, a facility offering therapeutic and recreational activities for children and youth with special needs in Franklin, TN.

​

Sarah was one of 12 artists selected to participate in the inaugural Artist in Residence Program in the historic downtown Nashville Arcade, exhibiting and curating a new show for each monthly art crawl from October 2024 to June 2025.
