sarah plenge

I am a California-based artist working primarily in the mediums of photography and writing. As both an outdoors enthusiast and visual storyteller, I strive to center the natural world in my creative practice.

I look forward to continuing to explore my new home on the central coast with a camera and a pen in tow while championing narratives that promote the longevity of all species on our shared planet.
