Sarah Plummer is a collaborative printer, maker, and writer, lately of Australia and more recently of California. She was raised on the traditional lands of the Bidjigal and Dharawal people in Sydney and moved to the USA to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Printmaking) at Rhode Island School of Design before attending Tamarind Institute’s Professional Printer Training Program for collaborative lithography. She has worked on fine-art prints at Wingate Studio, Gemini G.E.L., and for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 150th anniversary. Within the last year, she has set up her own studio, Speck Editions, on unceded Tongva/Gabrielino land—in Los Angeles.

Sarah is captivated by the alchemic expanse of lithography and loves things that seem impossible. While she finds the opportunity to bring well-honored, innovative approaches to artists and their work as one of the greatest pleasures, her own work—print and otherwise—leads an investigation into land, memory, material, grief, love, and freedom.

Please reach out to Sarah if you are interested in purchasing work, or for inquiries regarding potential collaborations, contract jobs, or printmaking workshops. Sarah also provides technical consultation, archiving services and minor print restoration.
