Artist Bio: Sarah Hunt Engsberg

I was born in Thomas Jefferson’s Charlottesville, Virginia, raised in eastern North Carolina, and educated at The University of The South in Sewanee, Tennessee. I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1986 and have been married to Towson Paul Engsberg since 1987. We live on a horse farm along the banks of the Chattahoochee River with our dogs, barn cats, horses, and an exciting array of wildlife.

father gave me a curious mind. From him I learned that anything is possible and that I can achieve whatever

I set my mind and energy to. I was lucky to be the last child, coming along when he had the time and resources to spend with me one-on-one. He never treated me like a “girl,” just a daughter, who could sail, ski, ride a horse, or anything else as long as I made the commitment to the education and took the time and care to do it well.
