*Sarah Zar has a collection of imaginary avians that enjoy flying around her neck when the winds are rising. Her species is noted for its colorful use of dream logic.
Sarah Zar studied art and literature at the Ontario College of Art and Design & SUNY Albany and has a graduate degree from Montclair University. She taught Master’s students right out of the proverbial gate. Zar’s inventive roster as an educatrix has included contemporary art & aesthetics, as well as subjects integrating the studio arts with quantum theory, literary theory, NLP, nonsense cryptology, and the art of microexpressions. After teaching diverse curricula as an adjunct in NJ and a professor in NYC, she spearheaded and ran a 76 teacher program to bring much needed cultural and technical courses to Harlem students at a school started in partnership with Columbia University. She is President Emeritus and an Advisory Board Member for MovingPotential.
