Statement

Statement

Sarah’s work communicates the raw energy of the Scottish Highlands through “controlled chaos.” In each brush stroke there lies a desire to ignite a sense of wonder in the viewer and send them deep into nature. Her work features a variety of materials and techniques, from the rich texture of impasto oil painting to the spontaneous fluidity of watercolor.

Sarah’s joyful process involves painting outdoors as often as possible. “There is no greater teacher than nature” – a motto that has proved true time and again.

The controlled spontaneity of her work is the result of careful consideration, a process that involves intense study and immersive experiences in nature. Therefore plein air features strongly in her portfolio.
