Sarah Gahagan

Sarah is a multimedia artist as well as costume and puppet designer for theatre, festivals, and stop-motion animation film.  Sarah has received national grants and awards such as the Tobin Theatre Arts Travel Award. Her design work was featured at the 2007 Prague Quadrennial’s Scenofest Exhibit.

Some of Ms. Gahagan’s recent design credits include Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice at Artists Repertory (directed by Randall Stuart), James and the Giant Peach, West Moon Street, Anonymous, I Am My Own Wife, The Pillowman, The Seagull, Suddenly Last Summer, and Fuddy Meers.  Sarah attended the University of Oregon, where she received a BS in Theatrical Production Design and a BFA in Textile and Fiber Arts. 

Sarah works to inscribe visual and tactile stories through the ephemera she creates.  She draws her inspirations from myth, historical craft, and true collaboration.  She wholeheartedly believes there is more to the world than what we collectively acknowledge…and that the stories about the spaces that we don’t normally allow ourselves to inhabit are the richest and most provocative sustenance for our imaginations.
