Sarah Hazel is a self taught Houston artist who has been slowly emerging onto the local scene since 2006. Her primary medium is oil on canvas but has done mixed media projects for various commissions and gallery projects as well.

Born in 1963, Sarah grew up in Mississippi and in junior high moved to Hawaii with her family. In her early twenties, Sarah moved to the mainland where she met her husband, Reese Hazel, in Aspen, CO. They moved to Houston, TX in 1984 and have lived there ever since. Sarah found her creative outlet in the early years making clothes for her four daughters and gardening but has graduated to painting. Sarah uses memories, photographs from her childhood and travels, live models and painting in plein air as subject matter.

Sarah began painting in 2004 and had her first public show of work on Texas Independence Day, 2005 at the Pioneer Log House Memorial Museum. She continues to submit works of art to galleries in and around Houston.
