ABOUT SAGE VAUGHN

For over two decades, Sage Vaughn has built a distinctive practice that examines the uneasy meeting points between the wild and the human-made. His paintings often stage encounters between animals and constructed environments—wild dogs pacing across manicured golf courses, Butterflies migrating above smog choked traffic, sparrows perched on telephone lines. These juxtapositions create scenes where instinct and control, survival and civility, collide and are at once cinematic and unsettling.

Sage’s work has been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, with solo and group shows that highlight his evolving approach to composition, color and narrative. Alongside exhibitions, he has collaborated with major brands and cultural institutions, extending his
imagery into broader visual dialogues. The progression of his practice reflects both a deep painterly commitment and an ongoing exploration of how nature resists, adapts and endures within the margins of urban design.

Balancing raw immediacy with refined craft, Sage continues to expand his visual vocabulary, situating animals as both literal subjects and metaphors for resilience, trespass and freedom. His works offer viewers an invitation to reconsider the overlooked edges of contemporary life—spaces where the wild insists on its presence.
