Inspired by the landscape

Sarah is a landscape painter working from her home studio in Stamford, Lincolnshire. She is inspired by rural landscapes and town allotments and makes colourful, uplifting paintings in acrylic and mixed media.  Aiming to evoke a ‘sense of place’, rather than a literal depiction of a location, she enjoys using expressive brushstrokes, scratches and drawn lines and she has a real passion for colour.

Sarah’s work has been shown at the Mall Galleries in London with the New English Art Club, the Society of Women Artists, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. Sarah also exhibits paintings in UK contemporary galleries and with the Welland Valley Art Society and the Leicester Society of Artists. She regularly shows her work at Stamford Arts Centre and opens her studio to visitors as part of Northants and Rutland Open Studios.  She also teaches occasional workshops/demonstrations.
