Sarah Stellino uses imagery to explore identity and legacy. She was a 2022 Finalist for the Women Artists Forward Fund and has exhibited work in Manhattan and her hometown of Madison, WI. She is currently in the third year of creating Queering Rural Spaces which aims to change the narrative of who occupies rural America. Her personal work sheds light on the intimacy and intentionality of growing a queer family and aims to help her child understand their origin story.

Her practice involves using an 8x10 view camera that inherently blurs fact and fiction. This ambiguity allows space for the duality of life’s experience - the beauty and joy alongside the pain and stress. Continuing the craft and care of each photograph by creating prints in the darkroom is a very important part of her practice.
