SARA LUNA

I am a Chilean visual artist and illustrator with a specialization in textile art based in
Salt Lake City, UT.
Throughout the course of my studies, I experimented with a variety of materials, from watercolors to digital tools until I found my niche with punch needle in 2017. I started making punch needle portraits in my last year of college. I found this technique while researching materials for my degree project. I fell in love with it right away.
Using my two degrees, I mix the digital and the analogous to create unique pieces.
I try to make my work as unique as possible, using beautiful gradients of yarn that I dye and spin myself.
