About The Artist
Sarah Keith
I was born in Toronto and am currently based in Los Angeles and Mammoth Lakes, CA. I love to bake, ski, and foster animals, but then keep them. You’ll usually find me dreaming of chocolate chip cookies and listening to either Stevie Nicks or Taylor Swift. I’m married to a TV writer, who I’m pretty obsessed with. I’m a mama to a dog named Jeff, 3 cats, 4 menopausal chickens and 2 beautiful children, Ophelia (6) and Teddy (4). Mostly I’m just really really grateful to have this life.
In 2022, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My doctor referred to it as a piranha in my body. A tumor as aggressive as it could be. I had been breastfeeding my babies for almost 6 years straight and it truly felt like my entire life exploded in an instant. After a double mastectomy and chemotherapy, one of my friends asked me to take a pottery class with her. We started noticing how many life lessons could be learned through pottery and at the end of our 6 week course, I held a tiny vase in my hand and pushed two little boobs into the clay. Next to all of the cat food dishes I had made, it felt like the most beautiful thing I had ever created and the perfect way to pay tribute to the end of my active cancer treatment, as I had also just finished 6 weeks radiation.
We signed up for another course and I started making boobie vases for all of my doctors and other survivors I had met on my journey. It is never lost on me that my cancer journey has been filled with so much love and positivity (as far as cancer goes). What started out as a new hobby to process my diagnosis, has now turned into a business that I am so incredibly proud of.
Many young women do not have the means and support that I have been blessed with, so I donate all of the profits from my Nice Tits collection to organizations that support those women… it’s a small way that I can continue to make beautiful things and support other women.
All pieces from my last two collections sold out within hours and I have donated over one thousand dollars to Thriving Beyond Breast Cancer, a new 501c3 started by another young mother on her journey through survivorship. I also have a collaboration with LetsFCancer launching this week for breast cancer awareness month… all while gearing up for what will hopefully be my final breast surgery for awhile on October 3!
