What Sara says about her work: "In my own paintings, my work is led by strong colour, shape and impact. I work from both observation and photography, and am particularly drawn to representing women in my paintings. I use oil paints, which is the perfect medium to explore that visceral feel to the study of flesh and faces. I’m currently planning a series of paintings of people within domestic settings, looking at the echoes people leave over time in familiar places".
