the artist

Sarah is a contemporary painter based in Brighton. Preferring to feel a part of the landscape, Sarah paints, draws, and sketches ‘en plein air’. She loves to be immersed in nature and connected to the environment around her.

Nurturing her relationship with a space by revisiting it in all seasons, she is then able to experience and observe the changes in light, colour, and sound. Her evocative, dreamlike paintings capture not just a sense of light and place, but her own experience within the space. They have an underlying emotional intensity and sense of nostalgia, as if these are places and skies which are familiar to us all.

the story

In “Midsummer On the Downs”, Sarah Weedon returns to Devil’s Dyke in the South Downs - a place that holds a special place in her heart. She has visited itmany times, often drawn there at sunset, when the light stretches and softens and the landscape feels quietly expansive.

Painted from memory, the work recalls one particular midsummer evening when the sky glowed with warmth long after the sun slipped away. The hills fall gently into shadow while the last gold of the day lingers on the horizon.
