Sara Mongerson

President
Sara Mongerson comes to the art business after a 30-year career in finance and investment management. Born and raised in central Illinois, Sara earned an undergraduate degree from Illinois State University, followed by an MBA in international business from DePaul University.

In 2005, she married into the Mongerson family, the founders of the renowned Mongerson Gallery, established in 1971 by Mel and Susan Mongerson and run by her husband, Tyler Mongerson. While pursuing her career in finance, Sara often assisted with the family business, balancing this with raising her two children with Tyler. This unique blend of finance and art enriched her appreciation for both fields, intertwining them seamlessly into daily life.


Following Tyler's passing in 2023, Sara has embraced the responsibility of leading Mongerson Gallery.  She is devoted to preserving and strengthening the gallery’s illustrious 50-year legacy and is dedicated to honoring the gallery's rich history while infusing it with fresh perspectives, ensuring it continues to be a beacon of artistic excellence for years to come.
