About Sarah

    Sarah Holl' s career as an artist is characterized by versatility, imagination and an innovative legacy. As a professional artist working in both clay and paint for over 20 years, Sarah's daily life revolves around art making and community involvement within the arts. This combination of dedication and originality has allowed Sarah to carve an artistic path for herself marked by challenge and change, two defining ingredients for a successful career in the arts.
     Sarah is a principal in the family owned Scargo Pottery & Art Gallery in Dennis, Massachusetts, founded by her father, Harry Holl in 1952. In addition to regularly producing tile and relief works in clay, Sarah has curated numerous shows of works by other artists and makes an integral contribution to the running of the gallery. Sarah is frequently commissioned to produce ceramic installation tile pieces for clients throughout New England and beyond. She most recently has completed large scale custom tile installations for Cape Cod Hospital and Children's Hospital, Boston.
     Sarah's primary passion is painting and when not at Scargo, she works out of her new studio and teaching space Art Space, part of the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts, located at 46 Pearl Street off Main Street in Hyannis, MA. Sarah was asked to spearhead an arts revitalization project in downtown Hyannis, and her studio is one of the many new projects in which she will be involved as a liaison between the arts community and the town of Barnstable. Her figure drawing and still life classes have already gained great popularity and, when not teaching, she is hard at work on her own paintings and collages. She looks forward to her expanding role in this new burgeoning artists colony, including planning show and events with other artists with the goal of establishing a dynamic relationship between the arts and the surrounding community.
     In addition to working at Scargo Pottery and her studio on a daily basis, Sarah has had solo shows of her paintings at various galleries, including the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cove Gallery in Wellfleet, the Cotuit Center for the Arts and the Cahoon Museum in Cotuit. She has had in-depth articles written about her work in numerous publications, including Cape Cod Life magazine and Cape Arts Review, as well as features on the New England news magazine program Chronicle. Sarah also took on the role of executive producer in the making of "A Centered Universe", a documentary film made about her father Harry Holl. Sarah has also taught figure drawing at Cape Cod Community College and the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis. Sarah is also asked to contribute pieces to countless charities and auctions on an annual basis, a request she is happy to fulfill as it speaks to her continuing effort to not only make art, but also participate as much as possible in the local arts community.
