Sahar Boussard, Abstract Expressionist Artist in Maryland

Original Acrylic Paintings Inspired by Nature

Sahar Boussard is an abstract expressionist artist based in Montgomery County, Maryland, creating original acrylic paintings inspired by the beauty, movement, and energy of the natural world. She holds a BFA in Studio Art, with a concentration in painting and film photography, from the University of Maryland.

Her abstract paintings are known for their bold use of color, expressive mark-making, and richly textured surfaces. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, Sahar builds each piece through layered applications of heavy paint, resulting in one-of-a-kind contemporary artwork with depth, movement, and visual impact. Her work draws inspiration from flowers, landscapes, and organic forms, capturing the emotional essence of the natural world rather than its literal depiction.

In 2025, Sahar founded Artwork by Sahar to fully pursue her professional art practice. Her original abstract artwork is available for purchase online and at select in-person art events throughout the Washington Metropolitan area. She also recently began providing Sip and Paint classes, at both public and private venues.

Custom Abstract Art Commissions

Sahar also offers custom art commissions, collaborating with collectors to create meaningful, personalized paintings designed to bring joy, warmth, and a lasting connection to nature into the home.
