Artist Statement

Sarah is a Trinidadian painter who has been exhibiting consistently for over 25 years in her home country as well as further afield. She uses acrylic on canvas along a semi abstract vein and her work is inspired by cultural expressions and everyday activities around her as well as personal introspection.
Her work is typified by vibrant layers of organic transparencies, which she uses to govern the emotional tone of each painting, creating a visual tension with the figures in the foreground.
She finds that the drastic change of environment that came from moving to the UK in 2019 has energised her work greatly. The changing of the seasons, the different type of flora and fauna and even the different quality of light, have all influenced her current work in a significant way.
