Sarah Ratchye (American, b. 1955) is a contemporary artist who primarily engages with the application of watercolors to express the illustrious and ephemeral landscapes. She currently works and resides among the Wasatch Mountains in Park City, Utah.
Ratchye examines the world around her and paints her natural landscapes as if she were in plein aire. In the mountainous region of Utah, lush clouds, cerulean skies, and an infinite horizon of impressive mountain ranges envelop Ratchye. During the winter, lavish greens are prefaced with snow; the sky becomes a flurry of white and gray, with only a slight beam of sunlight shining through the snowy village. Ratchye’s watercolor paintings capture the vastness and grandeur of the land through the perspective of someone driving past the beautiful backgrounds. By utilizing an impressive immersion of colors that translates into a fleeting moment, Ratchye’s artworks manage to capture an instant of disrupted atmospheric activity that blurs the boundaries between the natural world and what the viewer witnesses.
Sarah Ratchye is a Carnegie Mellon alumna and artist whose work has been exhibited in numerous one-person and juried shows and is in private collections in the United States and Australia. She served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA) from 2001 through 2010, and was chairman of the SJMA collections committee. Ratchye has earned degrees from CMU, Stanford University, and the San Francisco Art Institute.
