By the time Sage Tucker Ketcham entered high school in Burlington, Vermont, she and her mother had moved over 20 times. Their travels took them throughout the U.S. and Europe, with memorable stays in England and Italy.  Sage’s mother, herself an artist and musician, made sure that art played an important part in their experience. Sage went on to obtain a more formal art education from the Maine College of Art in Portland, before eventually returning to Vermont, where she now lives with her husband and son. Her paintings suggest an interesting blend of stasis and movement, likely informed by her own peripatetic past, weaving the transitional nuances of seasons and time of day with comforting depictions of home.
