I’m Sara Luna, a Chilean fibre artist based in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I moved here in 2018, following my then husband, and after our marriage didn’t work out, I decided I still wanted to stay here. There’s something about this place that makes you want to stay, maybe it’s the sunsets. And shortly after, I found love again and this city became my home.

I specialise in fibre portraits made with the punch needle. I try to make my work as unique as possible, using beautiful gradients and punch needles that I make myself. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with dyeing my own yarn, and it’s like a new world of possibilities just opened up. I never thought of making this into a business, but after a while people started asking me for the prices and slowly this fun project became my source of income.
