R. Sawan White

Born in 1978 in the United States, R Sawan White got her degree in printmaking in England in 2000. Her love of the processes and techniques of etching, screen printing, and intaglio printing have laid the foundation of her current paintings. Incorporating these techniques on wood and canvas, White’s work appears to glow from it’s depth of color and layering. Her paintings explore cultural norms as they conflict with daily life, exploiting subtleties of language and the beauty of the common to create work which is intimate and narrative in its nature. R. Sawan White has exhibited all over the world including America, New Zealand, England, and Taiwan. Her work is in private and public collections across the globe. She currently works alongside two cats from her studio in Rhode Island.
