​
Sarah Is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Jervis Bay area of NSW, Australia. She is greatly inspired by her surrounding environment and her children. She enjoys painting her local beaches and other bodies of water en plein air and often creates work in her home studio. Sarah is also a registered nurse and finds that her study of anatomy lends itself well to her figurative work.
Sarah also greatly enjoys painting murals, both indoor and outdoor. Her work tends to be vibrant and not at all subtle as she believe colour brings joy.
