The relationship between the natural world and mankind, inspired by the culture of the east and west, has formed the basis of Sarah’s work since returning to the UK in 2017. The Rainforest Series and the latest series, Wonder, celebrate our natural environment, raising an awareness and the need for protection and conservation. Abstract landscapes and botanical paintings create a narrative, capturing a sense of place while immersing the viewer within the humidity, light and colour of the landscape. Rather than replicating the landscape, these paintings rely on the metaphorical, patterning, and semi-abstract, each a visual poem informed by sketches, watercolours and memories of the time spent in this habitat.

Each painting is created with mixed media (artist’s quality acrylic, ink, oil stick, graphite and pastel) with screen-printing, mono-printing and hand-cut stencils.
