Figure artistique des années 30, Sarah Lipska travaille avec Adrienne Gorska, architecte et soeur de Tamara de Lempicka dont elle fréquente le salon. On connaît d'elle de nombreux portraits de personnalités de l'époque : la marquise Casati, Arthur Rubinstein, Paul Poiret, Helena Rubinstein sont ses modèles. Après la guerre, elle collabore avec Serge Lifar pour les décors et les costumes de ses ballets. Elle réalise le monument à la mémoire de Léon Blum, érigé à Narbonne.
