All are welcome.

I grew up surrounded by the wide-open skies of the Alberta prairies and road trips through Saskatchewan and Manitoba gave me a love for all of the buildings that used to dot the landscape. Now they’re starting to disappear and they feel like relics of another world. Grain elevators especially, once looming figures of prosperity and industry, now withering away and left for dust. My paintings imagine where they’re going— maybe not demolished, but lifted into space by beings that need them more than we do.

These paintings are my way of celebrating the prairies and imagining them in new ways. It’s weird and strange, but also deeply personal. I’ve always loved creating and using it as a way to meditate… something that can be really hard with ADHD. And maybe it’s also because I watched the X-Files way too early, but I’ve always been drawn to the mystery of the unknown.

If you’ve ever wondered what the prairies might look like with a little less gravity and a little more, “Hey, what’s that in the sky?” these are for you.

Sarah Lamoureux, also known as “SLAMO,” is a Calgary-born artist & information designer. She is self-taught and discovered her style while experimenting with some ‘reject’ paints from her (now) husband in 2020. Since then, she’s created several installations and surreal paintings, blending her love for design and geometry with a sense of imagination and otherworldly exploration. By day, Sarah works as the in-house graphic designer for a local small business, and by night she brings her vibrant ideas to life through art.
