GROWING UP IN THE PRAIRIES IN CANADA,; WITH BRIGHT SUN, AND VIVID COLOURS; THERE WAS AN INHERENT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR NATURE AND ANIMALS.

DRAWING WITH A PENCIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT WAY TO EXPLORE PEOPLE, ANIMALS, ARCHITECTURE AND ORGANIC OBJECTS. I WAS ‘DRAWN’ INTO A WORLD OF LEARNING I NEVER KNEW.; A WORLD OF LEARNING THAT RESONATED SO DEEPLY THAT I LEFT PRE MEDICAL STUDIES AND APPLIED TO ART COLLEGE WITH VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE. I EARNED A BFA IN PAINTING AT PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN WITH A MINOR IN ART HISTORY AT THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, BOTH IN PARIS.

PARIS WAS THE ULTIMATE LEARNING ATMOSPHERE FOR ART’’S EVOLUTION, WITH THE DISCIPLINE OF RENOWNED INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AS PROFESSORS, THE LIFE OF ART BECAME ENGRAINED IN ALL MY WORK.

PARIS, TORONTO, JAMAICA, NOVA SCOTIA, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND, TORONTO, GUATEMALA, TADOUSSAC HAVE ALL BEEN HOMES AND ARE GENETICALLY WOVEN INTO ALL MY WORK.

FIGUATIVE WORK AND ABSTRACT WORK ARE THE SAME FOR ME SO THERE IS BOTH…IN PENCIL…PAINT, PHOTOGRAPHY, PORTRAIT, ON PAPER, CANVAS, WOOD, PLASTIC AND GLASS

EXHIBITIONS FEOM 1986-2020 IN GERMANY, FRANCE, ST. JOHNS, TORONTO, CHARLOTTETOWN.

WORK IN PERMANT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OLLECTIONS IN JONES FALLS, TORONTO, OTTAWA, MONTREAL, HALIFAX, US, CHARLOTTETOWN, CALGARY, OAKVILLE, TADOUSSAC AND GUATEMALA

ALL WORK IS COPYWRITE

WHICH MEANS EVEN AFTER SALE , THAT ALL ARTWORK IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE ARTIST AND CANNOT BE COPIED WITHOUT THE ARTIST’S CONSENT.

BIO

Passionate about Canada, Sarah’s u commissioned dawings, paintings and photography.depict it's beauty in figurative and abstract works.

Ensconced in the Western Art world’s epicenter, she developed a keen aptitude for art history and architecture from the masters and icons that shaped our understanding of colour and perspective.

.A summer resident and spiritual kindred of Tadoussac, Quebec, her distinctive color palette and compositional intuition reveals itself from the ancient rock minerals, deep waters and infinite vistas in both figurative and abstract work.
