Sarah Horning is a graphic and digital artist born and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina. She is pursuing a BA in Studio Art with a Minor in Digital Arts at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, graduating in Fall 2025. Before her time at UNCW, Horning attended the Savannah College of Art & Design, where she studied Fashion Marketing from 2015 to 2019. She moved back to her home in Wilmington during COVID, but her studies at SCAD in Fashion Marketing helped her discover her passion for graphic design. In 2021, she transferred to UNCW to pursue this new path.
Horning has been the recipient of several awards and honors, including first place at the 2014 Cape Fear Fair & Expo exhibition, an honorable mention for the Eastern/Central NC Scholastic Art & Barton College Award, the SCAD Academic Honors Scholarship, and the SCAD Achievement Honors Scholarship. Her work has been featured in numerous events, including FLOW ILM in both 2023 and 2024; the Cargo District in collaboration with Matt Roberts’ Fried Fruit Gallery Exhibition, Invasive Species; the Kresge Greenhouse annual light-based art show; and even had one of her screenprints displayed on the set of Zoey 102. When Horning graduates, she hopes to continue pursuing her passion while inspiring others through her work, just as so many artists have inspired and shaped who she is today.
