Sarah Crooks is a multidisciplinary eco feminist artist/educator. Home is Here Along Red Pearl River is her first published book, funded in part by a grant from the FL Division of Cultural Affairs and an Art Ventures Grant from The Community Foundation of NE Florida. The work takes a deep look at the culture of colonization that arrived on our shores of North Florida and creates a new narrative of belonging based on partnership with, rather than dominance over, the living world.
