Sarah wie de tredde dochter en seisde bern fan Ebenezer Goodridge en Beulah Childs. en waard berne yn Templeton, Massachusetts op febrewaris 5, 1788.
At an early age she demonstrated a talent for art with the drawings she created, and because educational opportunities were limited in the area that she lived, especially for woman; she essentially was a self taught artist.
Sarah’s early works, which were sketches of people were done on birch bark since she did not have the money ot purchase paper; en by 1820 when she went to live in Boston, Massachusetts with her sister Eliza, she began taking lessons in painting and creating miniature portraits.
From the commissions she earned from her miniature portraits she was able to support herself and family; and over time would specialize in creating miniature portraits on ivory.
It is believed that the ivory painting training she received was most likely from American engraver, miniatuerskilder en striptekener Elkanah Tisdale (1768 – 1835); bekend om de ferneamde cartoon “De Gerry-Mander”, publisearre yn 'e Boston Gazette op maart 26, 1812, wat late ta it betinken fan de term gerrymandering.
Sarah waard in bekende skilder fan miniatueren troch har skilderijen fan korrespondint en politikus Daniel Webster (1782 – 1852) en kollega-keunstner Gilbert Stuart (1755 – 1828); mei ien fan har bêste stikken Beauty Revealed in miniatuerportret fan har eigen bleate boarst presintearre oan Mr..
