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
There’s a moment, just before summer fully arrives, when everything seems to grow at once - wild, unruly, and full of purpose. “Fuchsia Cluster I” captures that feeling perfectly. It’s a large-scale celebration of chaos, where pink blooms push forward through thick layers of green, each brushstroke bursting with energy.
Painted with a vivid, heightened palette, the work doesn’t aim to document nature exactly as it is - it aims to feel like it does in that fleeting moment when the light hits just right, and a roadside shrub becomes something radiant. The fuchsia here is more than a flower - it’s movement, memory, and mood all at once. A tangle, yes, but also a kind of joyful riot.
