Submission Painting

Common Ground

Allowing process to be the guide, Sarah’s works hint at the
inner serenity for which one strives, creating space where
possible and working within the confines where space isn’t
available. Her navigation of the canvas, layers of colour and
remnants of brush stroke evoke an idealistic perspective, one
where the peace of one’s environment can be conjured simply
through the act of looking.

Her distinct layered and energetic approach to painting
reconciled to include a more structured and refined collection
of ideas. “I always feel like I’m torn with the style of my work.
On one hand, I feel a strong need to work in an expressionist
style, and then once I start, I always get pulled into the idea
of producing strong, bold and almost geometric compositions.
In this latest body of work, I decided to embrace both of those
feelings”.
