Sarah Cain: hand in hand

Born in 1979, Cain grew up in upstate New York and has lived and worked in California since the late 1990s (she is currently based in Los Angeles). She received a bachelor of fine arts from the San Francisco Art Institute, a master of fine arts from the University of California at Berkeley, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Cain’s works are in major museum collections; her commissions include Walk Right Up to the Sun, a major work in stained glass for the San Francisco International Airport, and My favorite season is the fall of the patriarchy, a site-responsive installation for the National Gallery’s East Building Atrium. Cain has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; the Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh, North Carolina; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Momentary at Crystal Bridges, Bentonville, Arkansas; and the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York.
