About the Artist

 

Sarah Jane Post is a Denver-based artist and maker with a passion for creating beautiful, functional things.

Born in Michigan, Sarah has been practicing art and design since the age of 14. She received her BFA from the Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan, where she worked across bronze sculpture, printmaking, and painting. After graduating she moved to New York City, spending four years as an apprentice learning the craft of handmade leather goods and the inner workings of a production shop. During that time she continued her studies at Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts, focusing on 3D digital design and graphic design.

In 2021 Sarah moved to Denver — drawn by the mountains, the light, and the need for new terrain. Her paintings are informed by travel and exploration, and those same ideas shape the design and function of her leather bags. She builds things meant to be carried into the world.

Everything sold through Sarah Jane Post is handmade in her Denver studio. Each piece is one of a kind, built to the highest standard, and meant to be kept for a long time.
