meet SARA

HI There!

Sara was raised on a farm in North Wales and jokes that she grew up on a steady diet of cold, muddy walks in the rain, and her mother’s Homes & Gardens magazines.

Perhaps not much has changed. She still loves being outdoors and has never lost her fascination with the beauty of the natural world—although these days, thankfully, her walks are considerably warmer.

Having made her home in the South, Sara has become captivated by a very different landscape: ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss, salt marshes stretching towards the horizon, wide-open skies, and the ever-changing light of the coast.

Painting felt like a natural progression of her lifelong love of beauty and her desire to capture the places and moments that stir something in her. At its simplest, Sara paints the scenes she would love to have hanging on the walls of her own home.

She is particularly drawn to light—how it filters through the branches of an old oak, glimmers across the marsh at low tide, or lingers over the shoreline at the end of the day. It is this constantly shifting quality of light, and the way it can completely transform an ordinary moment, that keeps her returning to the canvas.

For Sara, painting is less about simply recording a landscape and more about capturing its feeling: the stillness of a Southern afternoon, the hush of the marsh, the warmth of the sun, or the quiet magic of a place that makes you pause.

There is an almost otherworldly reverence in the natural world around her, and through her paintings, Sara hopes to share a little of that sense of wonder.
