ARTIST INFO
About
Sarah grew up in Yorkshire, close to the city of Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales. Since graduating from Wimbledon School of Art, London, Sarah has maintained a professional practice, occupying various studios across London, and now settled in Space Studios, Peckham, London.
Following a successful exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery in Cornwall, curated by Cath Wallace, Sarah's work has been shown and sold through Quantum Contemporary Art, London at art fairs around the world.
For many years Sarah has immersed herself in the painting of pears and continues to develop her skills and contemporary style, whilst also applying the same concentration to a series of small flower paintings.
The genre of still life painting and particularly painting pears, has dominated Sarah’s practice for some time. Looking at the paintings of Cezanne and Morandi, or the more elaborate Dutch still life painters, she has become fascinated by how the depiction of simple everyday objects can convey something more than the things seen.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Painting on such a small scale, on paper, was a challenge, but I followed the same principles as I do for my larger paintings on linen.
