Sarah R. Coates is a painter and ceramicist based in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. She holds a degree in Art and Art History from Dickinson College. Working across abstract painting and ceramic sculpture, her practice centers on the body of experience and exploration of the human condition. Abstraction becomes her language for the earthly moments that resist clear explanation, a kind of inner poetry rendered in surface and mark. Each of her works function as a relic of a fleeting moment, holding a moment in time and human experience now fossilized in art.
Her work has been exhibited at CALC in Looking In, Looking Out (2023), at Tyler Gallery in Rome in the Spring Fair (2025), at Goodyear Gallery in Works in Progress (2026), and at the Trout Gallery in Give Up the Ghost (2026).
