Join us for a welcoming evening of art and community featuring Sara Allen of Laughing Lupin Studio, an Alaska-based artist who has called the state home since 2001. What began as simple crafting and tinkering grew into painting, and eventually into a deeply personal healing practice and daily ritual—one that helps Sara process life, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between.
Inspired by Alaska’s wild beauty, emotional resilience, and the quiet magic hidden in everyday moments, Sara’s work showcases oversized florals, botanicals, and nature scenes painted in bold, expressive strokes. Rather than aiming for realism, she paints how things feel—the fleeting view from the corner of your eye or the world seen through a squint on a bright day.
Meet Sara, explore her vibrant and emotive collection, and celebrate the power of creativity during First Friday at Visit Anchorage. Enjoy coffee and cookies while you browse, connect, and discover new favorites.
Come hang out, support a local maker, and enjoy a fun Friday evening. Free and open to the public!
