Sarah Gainer was born in New York City but spent most of her life growing up in rural Central Pennsylvania. In her work, Sarah examines the inherent emotional maturity in children and adolescents that is paralleled in adults. She focuses less on intended meaning and more on emotional quality that encourages a range of received meaning from the viewer. Sarah photographs young women and children in introspective, haunting stills which carry implied, subtle narratives.
