About

I'm Sarah, a designer/maker/artist.

During the first lockdown in 2020, I used the unexpected time to explore painting—and quickly fell in love with it. Coming from an photography/interiors background, creativity was always a part of my world, but this new medium opened up an entirely fresh direction for me.

With about 20 paintings, I opened an Instagram account, which led to an incredible opportunity when Carole Bamford, discovered my work. She not only purchased and commissioned multiple pieces but also generously offered me a solo exhibition at Daylesford. Around the same time, Una Malan also purchased some work and began representing me through her high-end showrooms in California, marking another exciting milestone in my journey.

My work focuses on large-scale, bold yet minimal compositions. I paint figurative subjects, animals, and abstracts, often drawing inspiration from the old masters. My equine pieces, in particular, are influenced by George Stubbs, especially his masterpiece Whistlejacket at the National Gallery. I reimagine these classical works through a contemporary lens, isolating subjects against plain backdrops to emphasize their individuality and expression.

In January 2023, a close friend and patron asked me to design and create six wall lights for her home. This project sparked a desire to create more designs, leading me to develop a growing collection of lighting designs. As I continue to evolve as an artist, I’m excited to expand my lighting collection alongside my paintings, bringing my artistic vision into both fine art and functional design.
