For seven decades, she’s transformed salvaged items, dolls, and family photos into politically charged sculptures that challenge history and inspire generations. Still sketching in her Laurel Canyon studio at dawn, Saar sees art as magic—making something from nothing—and her bold voice has carved space for Black women in the art world. Rooted in LA’s segregated streets and galvanized by civil rights upheavals, her work pulses with urgency and beauty. Now, her legacy is being preserved as family digitizes her vast archive, ensuring her fearless spirit lives on through every new piece she continues to make with joyful, unyielding passion.
