Referencing the painting "Peaceable Kingdom" by Edwards Hicks, one that he repainted multiple times, I replaced the animals from his painting, with animals now extinct. In this version, man has both conquered nature and nature has vengeance on man through, floods and hurricanes. In the center, is a circular shape inspired by an Amish folk quilt form, there are nods to cleanliness, pioneers, and home ownership by way of the scrubby dutch woman and the male figure wielding a gun. Ideas of property, control, and value, are further replicated in the highway "clover" patterns and generic home shapes. This artworks suggests that mans expansion and control of the environment has become more valuable than a harmonious relationship to the natural environment. This work is part of the "hidden white norms" series, a group of collaged based works, that identify and illustrate unspoken white cultural values through the rendering or appropriation of accumulated found and iconic images. For the past three years, I have been dissecting my "whiteness" in an attempt to make visible that which is unseen or unspoken. During this personal journey, I have attempted to untangle my ethnic and cultural identity and understand the historical social construct of whiteness. The artwork I have made is at times a documentation of my search, a reflection on my experience of whiteness, and/or an attempt to answer my own questions about the formation of racial identity in the U.S.

My art centers engagement with social change through the sharing of stories in community spaces. I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. I examine identity through illustrating stories that are intimate and comment on larger social issues. Primarily I work with paint, but I additionally construct animated films made from my artwork, using stop motion animation techniques. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
