Wildlife Art with a Twist at Banning Art Gallery

Come check out Sarah Soward's unique wildlife art at Banning Art Gallery—it's a twist on wildlife art that you want to experience!

Join me and my fellow artists for a unique art experience featuring my wildlife creations. My featured artist artist show combines my intricate paintings of wildlife with astronomy, color, and a touch of the Surreal. There is also a large selection of my laser-engraved/laser-cut series, A Rhino in Every Home. Come see these in person!
