Sarah Warda is an American realist painter from Connecticut whose work is rooted in close observation and an enduring respect for classical technique. Trained at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Students League of New York, she studied with noted artists such as Harvey Dinnerstein and participated in workshops with Aaron Shikler, experiences that sharpened her focus on the human figure, portraiture, and finely rendered interiors. Her paintings have been shown at the National Arts Club in New York, the New Britain Museum of American Art, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago, as well as in juried exhibitions with Connecticut Women Artists, the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, and PoetsArtists. Several of her works are included in the Lunar Codex project, making her among the first women artists to have artwork archived on the moon and symbolically carrying Assyrian and broader diasporic stories beyond Earth. Alongside gallery work, she has completed illustrations, murals, and portrait commissions for public, private, and corporate collections, using traditional realism to create images that feel intimate and contemporary. Through her meticulous brushwork and quiet, narrative-driven scenes, Warda contributes to a living visual record in which Assyrian identity, memory, and dignity are preserved and shared with viewers far beyond her immediate community.
