About

Hello Friend, I’m Sarah Shreves.

Photographer & perceptive Creative Director. CEO of Be Well, Create Well™

MKSADLER-8086.jpg

I am here to be discerning - sensitive and intuitive.

Warmth & rational. Refined & delicate. Affectionate & independent.

 

I love noticing the subtle signs that shift from one second to the next.

Maybe after 16 years of studying the human face now, I've learned a thing or two about seeing the subtleties.

I can sense a shift in energy, mood & posture with precision.

I am discreet. Profound. Unexpected. Grounded. Focused.

My ear is always to the ground.

I am always listening for the things unsaid and hidden away.

Seeing beyond the obvious.

I have this way of getting at the heart of what you want, not what you say you want.

Here to heat it up and cool it down, I've got a good temperature gage.

I am not easily sold on new ideas - I won't act solely on impulse. You must earn my interest. I will carefully consider the decisions to be made. I won't waste your time when I speak or write.

Everything I say has a purpose. Everything I don't say has a purpose.

My velvety soft exterior envelopes you into my strong inner core.

Intellect and emotion; why would we choose one when we can have both. Adaptable, my expressive or rational sides are both at play.

Endlessly curious I am here to dream about what could be.

I am here to bring perceptive insights, wisdom & direction through creative leadership.

Artists Statement

A multidementional portrait artist, she seeks to create healing experiences both during and after the images are created, knowing that our ability to see ourselves and one another is the first step to creating a world full of peace, justice & miracles.

She focuses on slowing the process of subjects revealing themselves to the camera as well as viewing themselves through the work so that the tensions within might be felt, processed and celebrated. Not forsaking the realities or flaws her work is ruthlessly honest and grounded while still mystical and heavenly.

Her work is autobiographical incasing a self portrait within each portrait. Her work blends wonder, humility, truth telling and always an invitation to see the face of God in the face of another.

Sarah Shreves lives in San Diego, CA but is surrounded by a global community of loved ones, other artists & healers. Her vision to to cultivate a community of artists creating from a place of wellbeing; her companies vision being Be Well | Create Well.

the MANIFESTO

A soulful woman is finding her voice again. She’s putting her foot down on negative self talk, shame & her past mistakes. Making way for her dreams & deepest desires. She’s breaking out of boxes and caves. She paints with freedom, wholeness & her whole being. Caring less about what it looks like on the outside and making moves from the inside. She sings to reclaim her relationship to God. Dancing to the beat of her own drum she’s creating new neural pathways. She’s tender yet tenacious. Because she’s facing life head on, heart on, body on— and is blossoming because of it.

The Arch Logo

Traditionally an architectural term the arch is a symbol of initiation and ceremonies of renewal in many cultures. Walking through an archway represents the letting go of the old and moving into a new phase of life.

Arches speak of opportunity. They are like windows and doors, singing over you, "There is always another way.” The two sides convey a sense of duality and contrast. In this we are prompted to shift, to move through the arch, to move through our views. 

The arch represents our point of decision. The arch is place where we have reached our epiphany and we've internally confirmed our plan of action after weighing the balance of choices available to us.

They say "Move forward and your world will not crumble - only expand. You are safe.”

Join me in the archway.
