Artist Bio
-
Margaret Ahrens Sahlstrand is one of the predominant artists working with handmade paper in the Northwest. She often used organic objects and clothing in making her paper relief artworks. She notes, “My images come from my immediate environment which is rural. The objects, plants, and animals represented are important to me as strong visual images as well as for my own personal fondness for them. By interpreting my environment into paper form it may be enjoyed beyond its own life span.”
Sahlstrand is based in Ellensburg, Washington. She is Professor Emeritus at Central Washington University where she influenced several generations of students teaching papermaking and printmaking. Sahlstrand earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lindenwood College in Missouri, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa.
