PAINTING
​
Sarah's appreciation for nature, texture, colour & light
are revealed in her vibrant, tactile pieces.
She paints in both Acrylics & Oils.

With a long term interest in psychology,
Sarah's pieces delve into our experience of kinship, memory,
loss & shared experience.
This is particularly apparent in her current painting practice,
with a strong figurative influence.
Forever the romantic, Sarah's works full joy for life,
for hope, love and connection.
