She wanted to expand her life to include all of her passions and started creating art to capture the moments she found in nature. She\u2019s now making a full-time living as a watercolor painter and illustrator while also bringing awareness to environmental issues.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24541\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24541\" class=\"wp-image-24541 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/03\/Take-it-From-Me-0010.jpg?resize=1024%2C692\" alt=\"Take it from Sarah Uhl\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Uhl and Phil Taylor looking through Sarah&#8217;s art.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In this\u00a0episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/social\/take-it-from-me-podcast\">Take It From Me<\/a>, Phil, the farmer you met in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/social\/take-it-from-phil-taylor\">episode two<\/a>, interviews Sarah on a vista overlooking a Colorado mountain range while they discuss Sarah\u2019s transition from cyclist to full time artist.
