Background

About Sara Larson

I am a motivated artist and entrepreneur with exceptional leadership skills that transfer well into any environment. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Drawing and a minor in Mass Communications from Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota. During my last years in school, I led a team to write and receive a project grant and opened one of the only undergraduate student run galleries in the Midwest, The Gallery Vault. After graduation, I moved to Pacific City, Oregon. I worked on managing, merchandising and advertising for a glass art gallery with multiple locations. I gained experience in artist management, training, and gallery operations. From there, I proceeded to open my own studio in Pacific City. We held themed group exhibits and I was responsible for not only my contributions but also obtaining community support, marketing, and booking live performances. Since retiring the studio in 2017, I have kept my own business running by doing advertising and marketing for local businesses. I specialize in website design and management, including the creation of newspaper ads, videos, logos and company branding. During this time, I also opened a lucrative home management business in Pacific City specializing in vacation rentals. Not only do I have creative experience, but also administration, bookkeeping, scheduling and business management.
