Meet the Team: At Carousel Fine Art

Originally from London, Sara relocated to Florida five years ago, bringing with her a lifelong connection to the arts shaped by both family and experience. Raised in an artistic environment, she grew up on set with her father, a cameraman and photographer, gaining an early, behind-the-scenes understanding of visual storytelling.

Sara began her career in London’s fashion industry in the early 2000s, working on set with renowned photographers including Barry Lategan, Nick Knight, and David Bailey. She later transitioned into the fine art world, working closely with international photographers and artists such as Raphael Mazzucco and Peter Beard, helping to connect their works with collectors and galleries.

With over 25 years immersed in the art world, gallery life comes naturally to her. Her experience includes working with leading galleries in London and managing a New York–based gallery, always centered around cultivating meaningful relationships between artists and collectors. An avid collector herself, Sara values the moment when someone connects with a piece—when it becomes more than art, and truly personal.

Born and raised in the Peach State, Jonah Raus has always had an affinity to all things creative. He attended Benedictine College where he received a football scholarship and studied marketing. Upon graduating, he found himself at the center of corporate infrastructure as a senior copywriter and yet couldn’t shake the feeling that life was missing something.

For him, the goal has always been to pioneer seismic levels of impact. Through art, he has found just that. His true speciality is understanding both the collector and the space at hand. His eye for detail is nothing short of meticulous. He’s able to visualize what could be, rather than what is, allowing for unthinkable curations to take shape. Using his knack for wordplay, he brings his own fresh and clever voice to the art world.

At the end of the day, Jonah is in the business of harmonious engagements that ooze impact, instill action and turn moments into memories. Jonah is someone who dreams big and believes in making history, not repeating it. He is insatiably curious and unapologetically devoted to delivering greatness to all he advises.
