Sarah Rowe is an interdisciplinary artist based in Omaha, NE. Her work opens cross cultural dialogues by utilizing methods of painting, casting, fiber arts, performance, and Native American ceremony in unconventional ways. Rowe’s work is participatory, a call to action, and re-imagines traditional Native American symbology to fit the narrative of today’s global landscape. Rowe holds a BA in Studio Art from Webster University, studying in St. Louis, MO, and Vienna, Austria. She is of Lakota and Ponca descent.

A former grant recipient and multi-year program participant, Sarah designed a functional piece for Amplify’s Editions program. This wearable fleece-lined hooded blanket is completely covered in Sarah’s Thunderbird print. Originally a woodcut, Thunderbird has been replicated here using an all-over-printing method that reveals the image’s intricacies in an entirely new way. Cozy and bold, Thunderbird will warm body and soul.
