an escape through prose and artwork.
Sarah has been drawn to figurative impressionism, creating pieces that generate
an emotional paradox; gentle and ferocious, vulnerable and strong, combined with a subtle
knowing that, despite the beauty depicted, her inspiration comes from a place that has
held great pain. She also draws heavily from nature in her art.
Sarah's poetry, always written spontaneously, is drawn from a depth of emotion that defies
boundaries; her words describe shame, joy, fear, love, passion, hurt, safety, terror and
contentment with a rawness that is haunting and oftentimes, confronting.
