Sarah Mihara Creagen
Sarah Mihara Creagen is a white passing mixed-race Japanese Canadian Queer artist born in Nova Scotia and currently living in Toronto. Her practice consists of research into intersecting histories of the medical system and botany, and considers these topics through personal experiences of queerness, chronic illness and disability while living with Crohn’s Disease.
Sarah received her MFA in 2018 from Hunter College in New York City, and was a 2018 Queer|Art Mentorship Fellow. She has had solo exhibitions at Katharine Mulherin’s NO FOUNDATION gallery (Toronto), SPRING/BREAK Art Show and Hercules Studios Gallery in New York City, and artist-run centres across Canada including Montreal, Halifax, and London, ON.
Her work has been featured in The NY Times “What to See in New York Art Galleries Right Now”, Hyperallergic, and Visual Arts News. Sarah's work has been supported through multiple grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Art Council grants, and the Toronto Arts Council.
