All photos taken by Sarah Boyts Yoder during her time in Cartagena, Colombia.
In November 2022, Sarah Boyts Yoder travelled to Cartagena, Colombia to be an Artist in Residence at Blue Apple Beach. The landscape, people, and bright colors of the Cartagena streets influenced much of the work she made during her time there and upon her return to her studio in Charlottesville, VA.

“One of the works I brought back from my time as and Artist in Residence at Blue Apple Beach on Tierra Bomba and Cartagena, Colombia.”
Through this work, I am trying to reflect the saturated color, texture, light, energy, and layers of such a beautiful place and the people I met.”

“I love working on paper so much...it’s its own medium, not just a surface. Each type has unique characteristics and qualities. Much easier to enjoy the freshness, freedom, immediacy and relief of mark making - not overworking. Let things breathe!”
