Meet Sarah Lorentz

Sarah Lorentz is an artist, teacher and lucky-for-us one of our volunteer Greenway Ambassadors. Many of her landscape paintings are created ‘en plein air,’ a French term that means “painting outside, on location from direct observation.” Over the next several months, you might find Sarah painting ‘en plein air’ on a greenway as she prepares for 2024 art exhibition at St. Louis Lambert International Airport.

“We are so lucky to have so many beautiful and unique outdoor places where we can connect to nature in St. Louis. This collection of paintings will focus on the significant biodiversity of the area. I want to capture all the different types of landscapes and ecosystems found along the greenways, creeks, bluffs, woodlands, wetlands, prairies, forests and more. I hope people who see these paintings will not only be inspired to visit these places, but also want to take care of them.”  To learn more about Sarah’s work, visit her website here.
