Once poised for the Olympics for track cycling, today, after a decade of searching for her greater purpose, Sarah Uhl shares her creativity and love of nature with the world through her art. Sarah Uhl is lying face down in a field of green grass and bright yellow flowers , her legs sprawled out behind her, chin no more than a foot away from her painting. The fingers on her left hand press backward from holding her work in place against the earth. She grips a pen in her right, meticulously drawing out a section.

Her drive comes from the need to examine herself through exploring “the growth that comes with each new chapter of our lives.

Photo by Bill Heltzel The White Plains Housing Authority has sued BP Products North America for allegedly contaminating water and soil at a former gas station near Winbrook Apartments . A toxic plume under the former BP station at 34 E. Post Road, the housing authority claims , has migrated toward an apartment building.
