I create works of art that help with the neurodivergent and special needs part of the community, but also work great for birthday gifts of all ages, Sensory friendly materials, paintings, resin crafts, jewelry and more.

What is more fitting for an art walk with a newcomers theme than Sarah Bunton’s Maps! In creating the Rogers, Arkansas map, Bunton took the city’s complex maze of streets and bike trails, snapped their names to a grid, filled the negative spaces with colorful geometric shapes and highlighted community amenities with buttons.

The purpose of this and all of her stylized maps is to orient those new to the city, encourage the use of cycling and pedestrian paths, and to further a sense of community identity among residents.
