Sarah Spengler is an artist whose work examines visual culture, perception, and the technologies that mediate our experience of the world. Drawing from both antiquated optical devices and emerging media, she creates works that question societal norms, blur the boundaries between still and moving images, and encourage viewers to examine the act of looking itself.

Spengler earned her Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of New Mexico and holds a BA in cultural anthropology from Bates College. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States at venues including Galleri Urbane in Marfa, Texas; RISD in Providence, Rhode Island; Tamarind Institute and the Albuquerque Museum in Albuquerque; and Form & Concept Gallery and the Currents New Media Festival in Santa Fe.

In addition to her studio practice, Spengler has taught art at colleges and universities throughout California, Massachusetts, and New Mexico. From 2011 to 2018, she developed and led the digital art curriculum at New Mexico School for the Arts. When not making art, Sarah can be found hiking in the high desert of New Mexico with her dog, Samosa.
