Sarah C. Blanchette is a photo and fiber-based artist working out of the Detroit area.
Through repetitive acts of hand/machine sewing and physical manipulations of the self-portrait, she documents her coming of age in a digital world while embarking on a journey towards growth and autonomy in womanhood.
Since establishing her studio practice in 2015, Blanchette has exhibited nationally and online in galleries, museums, zines, blogs, and artist run spaces. She is currently an Artist in Residence and Studio Coordinator/Curator at BULK SPACE in Detroit. Blanchette also co-curates the Instagram page @feministartmuseum, which features womxn artists creating work around identity, gender, race, and sexuality.
Blanchette holds a BA in Journalism and Studio Art Photography from Oakland University (‘15) and an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art (‘17). She is a Juried Artist Member of SAQA.
