Hi, I’m Saraya Bauer — a self-taught hyperrealism artist, wife, and mother of two. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I discovered my love for realism when I was eleven. What started as a simple fascination with detail has grown into a lifelong pursuit of capturing truth, emotion, and the beauty woven into everyday life.

My faith in Christ is at the heart of everything I create. Art has always been more than a creative outlet for me — it’s a way to reflect His beauty and tell stories of hope, redemption, and grace. Each piece I draw is both an expression of what I see and what I believe — an invitation for others to pause and feel something deeper.

Motherhood has also shaped my perspective in profound ways. It’s taught me to notice the sacred in the ordinary — the fleeting moments, the quiet strength, and the tender details that often go unnoticed. Those glimpses of truth and beauty inspire much of my work.

Above all, my hope is that my art doesn’t just capture what’s visible, but what’s eternal — that through every piece, others might see a reflection of Christ’s love and be reminded that beauty still runs deep in this world.
