Coming Home
Acrylic with hardening compound on full sized door
Sarah seeks to capture, in her work, the important relationships humans have with trees, flowers, animals and all things in the natural world. These relationships offer a sense of peace, grounding and calm which is so essential to the quality of one’s life. Growth is reflected consistently throughout her work.
She experiments with different materials in order to capture the mysterious and atmospheric qualities found in nature. Sarah uses hardening compound to build up the surface of her paintings, giving the work a three-dimensional quality. Once the materials adhere, multiple layers of paint are applied. First dark colors, then lighter and lighter colors emerge. More than ten layers of paint are applied to reach the final state. This application of color is deliberate in its attempt to pull the light from the darkness.
Sarah has lived, studied and traveled extensively throughout the U.S. She now lives in Burnsville, NC. Her work is represented by a number of galleries on the East Coast and will soon be available as greeting cards through Hallmark.
“Coming Home” has been designed to be used as a door in one’s home. It is a celebration of the importance of home in many different forms.
