Sara Palacios

Biographical Notes

Sara Palacios was born in Cuba in 1955.  She migrated to the United States with her family in 1968 and has lived mostly in the Los Angeles area ever since.  She married Rodrigo Palacios in 1974 who, at the time, was studying for his Ph.D. at Stanford University. That year Sara accompanied Rodrigo to Stanford's campuses in France and Italy where they immersed themselves in the study and first-hand perception of the history and philosophy of art. Back in the United States, Sara studied political science and philosophy at California State University Long Beach. Ms. Palacios began exhibiting her fine art paintings in Galeria de Las Americas in Los Angeles in the early 90s and later, in 1998, undertook the creation of  textiles in order to launch a fashion line of wearable art which she showed in the principal cities of the United States, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, etc. She also has shown her work in London, UK. At present, she creates home furnishings, whose images you can see at Sara Palacios Designs.
