The Pastel Abstract

Hello! I'm Sarah Braden, a visual artist and author in Madison Wisconsin, welcome to my website. This is where you can purchase my available artwork, or commission me to create something custom! I am inspired by empowered women, living in the moment, color as expression, and spirituality through sobriety.

A quick timeline about me

2024- got sober, locked in, finished all of my 1/2 completed projects. Channeled my anxious energy into fitness & action.

2025- opened an art studio within a thriving art community in a capital city. wrote/published my first book. "Legend of the Black Moon" & collaborated on a huge street mural.

2026- reformatting and pivoting my social media - teaching workshops- applying for residencies- and more sign up for my newsletter to follow along!

I launched this brand in 2020 and since then, my goals as an artist have evolved and expanded. The easiest way to show support for the work I am doing is to order from the website.
