the artist

Sarah is a 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

This painting explores the subtle drama of Coppermill Lane as summer turns to autumn. Sarah was drawn to the deliberate planting of trees that create an alternating pattern of colour – purple, green, purple, green – forming a natural rhythm along the street. The effect is most vivid where deep purple leaves contrast sharply with fresh green. Starting with a bold blue underpainting, she aimed to recreate that visual cadence. This ordinary street reveals its design when looked at closely, showing how nature and planning combine to create quiet beauty in Walthamstow’s everyday landscape.
