the artist

Sarah is a local Hackney based artist inspired by her walks around the Hackney and Walthamstow Marshes. Her paintings document paths taken and colours emerging over the changing seasons. Balancing fine painterly detail with loose gestural mark-making, Sarah enjoys exaggerating her colour palette and infusing her source images with vibrancy and energy - bringing a fresh approach to contemporary landscape painting.

the story

Sarah’s ‘Thicket With Water’ is a celebration of the green spaces and nature reserves that define the Lea Valley, and a reflection on the impact of nature on our wellbeing.

Inspired by an early January morning at the Filter Beds off Lea Bridge Road, the painting captures a fleeting moment of stillness and clarity. With paint, Sarah sought to express the intensity of colour that her camera couldn’t quite capture - especially the cold, bright blue sky reflected in the rainwater.
