Sarang Byrne is a Japanese-American artist based San Francisco, California.

She creates expressive watercolor paintings of plants and florals, using color, movement, and intuitive mark-making to explore emotion and the natural world. Influenced by the discipline and gesture of calligraphy, her approach emphasizes fluidity, restraint, and the expressive potential of a single mark.

Byrne is drawn to flowers not only for their forms and colors, but for the emotional roles they play in our lives—appearing in moments of love, grief, celebration, and remembrance.

Her work invites viewers to pause, connect, and experience a moment of awareness through the familiar language of flowers.
