ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Sarah Bourne Rafferty is consistently inspired by the natural world, be it her small backyard in West Chester or adventures on mountain tops far away. She creates botanical prints using the cyanotype process. Her exploration of nature is an ever-evolving attempt to dissect what is happening with the changing of the seasons and how they can relate to communication. 

Rafferty received a MFA in Book Arts/Printmaking from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA and received a BA in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography and Book Arts from Warren Wilson College near Asheville, North Carolina. She has continued her studies at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, BookWorks in Asheville, NC, Maine Media in Camden, ME, among many others.

Rafferty is the founder of Atwater Designs, a cyanotype design studio that produces original cyanotypes, fine art prints and paper goods. She is also an educator and finds working with students to be integral in her process. Rafferty's work has been shown both nationally and internationally. She currently lives in West Chester with her husband, John, dog and cat.

Sarah gives a portion of her proceeds to land and water conservation in southeastern Pennsylvania.
