Sarah Slaughter Art

Committed to a minimalist era, less hair, more clarity. Still chasing color and still lucky in all the ways that count. 🌟

Last year I finished building a little studio on my property! An open space that advocates my perpetual organizing and paint splatters. It has created a perfect start to another new year!

Happy springtime from Calgary, with a lil twist of snow 😜

A large-scale swordfish leaping through waves, giving the room a steady sense of flow. It mirrors the monochrome illustration of the octopus on the opposite wall, tying the space together through movement, linework, and water. 🌊

The space is relaxed and welcoming, and KAJIKI serves AMAZING fresh sushi on a menu that will pull you right back in.

Finished a vibrant mural for a private home fitness studio! The colours and form are meant to carry movement and strength into the space, offering a calm and motivating atmosphere for training.

As you can see, I made two new besties 🐕 Nothing like having mural buddies to keep me company. The human homeowners were pretty great too! 😜

Growing up, my little brother was my biggest fan, always asking me to draw every NHL team logo from memory. So when the Calgary Flames reached out for artwork, it felt like a full-circle moment. And to top it off, they were asking me to create something for Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

Something that I was taught is that all humans should be respected and accepted for who they are. This simple foundation guided my creation of the design.

I was drawn to butterflies as a symbol of transformation, resilience, and movement— all ideas that align with the ongoing effort to make our sports fully inclusive. Each abstract butterfly in the design carries the colors of the Pride flag, woven into the Flames logo.

The spirit of hockey has always been about skill, dedication, and teamwork—qualities that transcend background, identity, or orientation.

That’s why I wanted to create a piece that reflects both the game’s core values and the commitment to ensuring that Hockey Is For Everyone. 🏒
