The 2018 woodland painting

This one started life as a project at a Cornwall art studio back in 2018 and has stayed with my family ever since — the original isn't for sale. But you can still have it on your wall: giclée prints made from a high-resolution photograph of the original, printed to order on archival matte paper.

About the artist

Hello, I'm Sarah

I'm a self-taught artist who first picked up a brush at forty — and never put it down. My work is inspired by the coastline: harbour evenings, big skies and the endless small drama of waves meeting sand, painted in marine blues, foamy teals and sandy golds.

Each piece here is an original, signed on the front and back, and arrives ready to hang or framed on request.
