about
Sarah Christianson (b. 1982) grew up on a four-generation family farm near Cummings, North Dakota. Immersed in that vast expanse of the Great Plains, she developed a strong affinity for the landscape and the stories it contains. This experience has had a profound effect on her work, as she enjoys creating narratives about place and personal experience through time, historical research, and the landscape. Her work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in the collections of several institutions in the Midwest and the National Museum of Photography in Copenhagen, Denmark. She received a BFA in photography at Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2005 and an MFA in photography from the University of Minnesota in 2009. Since then, she has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area where she teaches at City College of San Francisco and RayKo Photo Center. Her first book, "Homeplace," is being published by Daylight in Fall 2013.
