Rena Sternberg Gallery presents the first solo exhibition of work by Sarah Weber. Sarah graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received her Masters of Fines Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2011.

Using various materials such as athletics jerseys, gouache, and metallic paper, Sarah creates paintings dealing with adolescent issues that follow us through adult life. "By culling images from her high school yearbooks as well as All-American Iconography, she accesses the inadequacies and insecurities of youth." She builds up layers through aggressive mark-making, such as burning, cutting and punching holes. Her work has been purchased by the owners of the Miami Heat basketball team and is exhibited at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.
