Sara Erenthal is a Brooklyn-based, self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist whose work focuses on themes of displacement, survival, and liberation. Born into an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, she left home at 17 to avoid an arranged marriage and spent the next two decades creating art and traveling the world. She works across painting, sculpture, and performance, often integrating everyday materials into her process. When not in her studio, Erenthal can be found working on the streets, reinventing discarded objects and painting provocative portraits. Within the past few years, Sara’s murals have been featured in a range of local, national, and international street art festivals, including the renowned Montreal Mural Festival. Erenthal's work has also been presented in solo and group exhibitions in New York City, Montreal and Tel Aviv. Her work has been reviewed and profiled in The New York Times, The Jewish Week, Haaretz, Vice, The Village Voice, CBS New York, Gothamist, The Brooklyn Rail, and Artnet among others.
