about the artist

Sarah Emily Porter is an award-winning British artist whose practice explores colour, composition, and process. Working from her Leyton studio, she creates abstract works using gravity-led mechanisms that remove the artist’s hand, allowing materials to flow and settle naturally. Her pieces respond to the textures and histories of place, layering paint to echo the physical and emotional fabric of urban and natural environments. Through her innovative approach, Sarah Emily invites viewers to witness the quiet choreography between control, chance, and the forces of nature.

the story

‘Walthamstow Wetlands’ is inspired by the soft evening light reflecting across the water. The painting’s grid structure draws from the surrounding urban landscape – a framework that both contains and contrasts with the fluidity of nature. Through this interplay, Sarah captures fleeting moments where water, sky, and city converge. Shifting tones and reflections evoke a delicate balance between order and movement, revealing how geometry and light coexist within Walthamstow’s changing horizon.
