Sara Hubbs (b. 1978, Phoenix, AZ) works in sculpture and installation with a focus on glass. Her interest lies in changing bodies, kinship roles and place. She uses material processes and shape as entry points into exploring absence, the body/embodiment, and loss. She looks for shapes that are overlooked or ascribed an abundance of meaning, asking what shape can hold and where meaning is located.

Hubbs completed a BFA in Painting at Arizona State University and an MFA in Visual Art at The George Washington University where she was a Morris Louis Fellow. Her work was shown in “Designing Motherhood” at The Houston Center for Contemporary Craft; The Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ; NADA Art Fair (NYC); Ex-Teresa Arte Actual, Mexico City; Carnation Contemporary, Portland, OR; Everybody, Tucson, AZ; and the exhibition in print, “New Glass Review 42”, The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY. In 2024, Hubbs had a two-person show with Sarah Zapata at MOCA Tucson and in 2025, a solo show at Mesa Contemporary Art Museum. She participated in residencies at the Cooper Union, NYC and The Vermont Studio Center and has been awarded grants from The Arizona Commission on the Arts, MOCA Tucson and the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Hubbs was a founding member of the Stew-dio Visit Artist Collective, who created socially focused art events. She is currently on the board at The Sonoran Glass School and owns Millville Studios, a group of artist studios and gallery spaces designed by Oscar Lopez of DesertWORKS Studio. She lives with her partner and child in Tucson, AZ
