A roller skating child, a teen losing her innocence, and a woman canoeing, are among the many females depicted in this painting across various moments of a life cycle. In the center is a swirling blue cosmos dotted with colored stars. Quilt patterns made from glitter glue and paint decorate the background. The image of a tame dog is countered by that of a howling wolf. The title is partially derived from a line in a Walt Whitman's Song of Myself that for me had the same sense of life cycles. This painting is a part of the series "Untitled Women": my female relatives were quilters, cooks, and crafters. Although they did not call themselves artists, they decorated their spaces by adorning their walls with stencils, embroidering pillows, and stitching doilies. A home holds dreams fulfilled, forgotten, and foiled and they were masters of these spaces. While sifting through old magazines I collected, among other things, images of women that seemed particularly telling about female roles and self-image. The imagery became the starting point for several paintings and collages.

My art centers engagement with social change through the sharing of stories in community spaces. I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. I examine identity through illustrating stories that are intimate and comment on larger social issues. Primarily I work with paint, but I additionally construct animated films made from my artwork, using stop motion animation techniques. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
