Sarah has been painting for Ömie Artists since 2009 and she loves to sit and paint ancestral barkcloth designs as well as to sing and dance for celebrations.
Her mother was Maranabara of Koruwo village and her father was Suevini of Kiara village on the Managalasi Plateau.
As a young woman, Sarah married an Ömie man of the Sidorajé clan from Gora village.
Managalasi people and Ömie people share the same ancestral creation story of Mina and Suja, the first man and woman as well as many of the same barkcloth designs.
Sarah learnt to paint as well as create sihoti'e taliobamë’e (designs of the mud appliquéd on white barkcloth) from both her mother and her grandmother.
She is credited as the oldest Ömie woman.
She is the foremost authority on traditional customary dress and spends days preparing the hair of young girls for dancing.
Sarah teaches Ilma Savari how to paint and sew Ömie designs. Artist’s Statement “I produce barkcloth art to show the world the strength of Ömie culture.â€.
