Margo is joined by Sarah Helen More, a Seattle-based artist and designer with a vibrant, kaleidoscopic style rooted in her personal history and love for textiles. Originally from Portland, OR, and Houston, TX, Sarah grew up surrounded by her mother’s handmade quilts—a key inspiration in her colorful work today. She studied textile design at the Rhode Island School of Design and has had a varied creative career, including roles as an art history teacher, studio assistant for Takashi Murakami, and more. In 2023, Sarah received her first public art commission with the Port of Seattle, set to debut at SeaTac International Airport in 2025.

Margo and Sarah discuss:

• Taking on big challenges before feeling “ready”

• Sarah’s creative process: from digital sketches to final painting

• Using change as a creative catalyst

• Finding joy and inspiration, even during difficult times

• The role of nature in her creative process

• Overcoming creative blocks and learning new skills for public art

• Influences of the Pattern & Decoration movement and folk art traditions

• Maintaining joy in creativity during tough times
