Make Happy Art

​

I am Sarah, I have always been a creative person ever since I can remember but it has only been recently that I have started painting regularly and developing my own creative practice. For me, it’s all about the energy in the marks I make, and the feeling that it evokes for the viewer. I am not aiming for perfect, I am aiming for a feeling of excitement, happiness and aliveness. Art is fun, a reflection of my happy uplifting smile in colour on the canvas, as I discover my authentic self through the art that I create.

I was raised in the countryside of rural Suffolk and live and paint in The Fens in my garden studio. For now, I call this place home and with views as far as the eye can see, and breathtakingly big skies and sunsets, the countryside has a huge influence on my work.

​

Inspiration can be found in many places, from my own ideas, my pets, my surroundings or even just random things that excite me. Whether it’s walking in my local area at home in The Fens, taking inspiration from the garden for my big, bold florals, or in my happy places on the Devon coast with its moody skies, dramatic cliffs, and sandy beaches or in my little French cottage in the Mayenne with its leafy woods, rolling hills and many dairy farms. My artistic mind is constantly storing memories waiting to be brought back to life, in creative bold pieces featuring sweeping sands, playing dogs, and ridiculous seagulls.
