Sarah Jutras (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working at the intersection of art, science, and lived experience. With roots in graphic, interaction, and experience design, her practice has evolved into installation, participatory ritual, and multisensory environments — works that invite wonder, reflection, and shared discovery.
Drawn to the science of how we perceive and feel, she brings a research lens to her creative work: studying neuroaesthetics, biomimicry, and the neurological mechanisms of awe to understand how designed environments can move us. She works as a metaphorical weaver, connecting threads of meaning across sensory modalities, natural phenomena, and the cycles and rituals of daily life.
Her desire to create experiences that act as cultural and communal containers arises from her own search for meaning, belonging, and ritual, and from a belief in beauty and art as forms of healing. Recent works include Shapes of Our Grief, a multisensory, participatory installation exploring how grief can move rather than calcify, and a multimedia site-specific installation in the Burren, Ireland, exploring the neuroscience of memory.
Across every medium, the threads remain the same: using sensory storytelling to illuminate the invisible layers of our human experience.
