Sarah McNeil is a story-teller whose work combines sculptural installation and contemporary animation. Growing up in a family of antique auctioneers in a small town on the coast of Maine she inherited a collector’s love of handcrafted objects, historic artifacts & the richly layered narratives behind them. Sarah comes to PNCA fresh from residencies at the Vermont Studio Center as well as three months in Prague where she studied traditional Czech puppetry and puppet animation.
