Sargent said of her work, "The artworks depict locations that made an impression on me, that help define who I am and what is important to me. Our lives are a series of events that occur within specific times and places. It is impossible to express a sense of place in an artwork in a way that will give a similar experience to others, but perhaps viewers will catch a glimpse of what I responded to in these locations, or will have their own interpretation and reaction to the compositions included in this exhibit."

Sargent earned a bachelor of science degree from Montana State University in Billings and a master of fine arts degree in ceramics from Wichita State University.

Sargent taught at several colleges in the Midwest and in Montana and Wyoming. In 1994 she earned an master of arts in education degree from the University of Southern Mississippi and accepted a position teaching in the art department of Lindsey Wilson College. At Lindsey, she was instrumental in starting the art education program.
