Sarah Bing is a distinguished artist based in Calgary, Alberta, renowned for her vibrant
exploration of themes through abstract and expressionistic styles. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the University of Calgary in 2002, Bing majored in oil painting, honing her expertise in colour theory under the guidance of a teacher who was a student of the celebrated colour field painter Mark Rothko. This rich foundation in colour has profoundly influenced her artistic practice.

Bing's artwork transcends traditional boundaries, embodying her belief that confining oneself to a single style can stifle creativity. She embraces a diverse range of subjects, from cityscapes and landscapes to poignant themes such as domestic violence, technology and mindfulness. Her current work is figurative and expresses authenticity, emphasizing the significance of self-love.

​

In 2010, Bing received a significant commission from the Calgary Bar Association, resulting in her monumental painting "The Living Tree," which adorns the 52-foot back wall of the ceremonial courtroom in Calgary’s court center. Measuring 25 feet long by 6.5 feet high, it is a unique piece, marking the only painting to hang in a courtroom in Canada.

Outside of her artistic endeavors, Bing shares her life with her partner of ten years and their blended family of five children. She finds balance through daily meditation, fitness, and cherished moments spent with her loved ones.

With a commitment to exploring diverse themes and a passion for vibrant expression, Bing continues to contribute richly to the artistic community, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of life through her powerful works.
