Sarah Ainsworth is an award-winning Los Angeles-based photographer and painter specializing in nature and conservation photography, organic paintings, and elegant product photography. She spends more time outdoors than in.
Her work showcases a deep reverence for the natural world, with subjects ranging from vast coastal seascapes or mountainous landscapes to dainty garden blooms and endangered butterflies. Whether she's working in the wild or in the studio, Sarah’s art is rooted in a desire to bring peace, connection, and healing to a manic world.
As a mother of three and bonus mom of one more, Sarah finds rest in the rhythms of nature. She creates art to share that sense of peace with others. Her photography has been featured in local press, on El Segundo’s “Welcome to El Segundo” sign, and in both private and public collections.
About the artist
Sarah’s father and grandfather were both photographers and painters, and her own artistic journey began over 25 years ago with a Minolta film camera, taking photos of landscapes in the Sierra Nevada and portraits of her dad photographing insects—an activity he still participates in today.
At the heart of her work is a simple truth: we flourish when we connect with nature.
