I can't recall a time when I haven't written, sketched, scrawled, painted, printed, photographed or sculpted. . A self-employed artist, working mostly on private commission. A love of art and design has been a constant theme in Sarah's life. Having completed a degree in Politics and Business Economics at Trinity College Dublin in 1989, Sarah undertook teacher training and qualified as a teacher in 1994. In 2000, she entered Edinburgh College of Art to study for a degree in Art and Design.
Since then, while maintaining a career in teaching, Sarah has continued to devote time to her artwork, attending classes at Leith School of Art from 2003 to the present. Under the tutelage of Jacqueline Watt, Jane Couroussopoulos and Kenneth le Riche, she has developed a distinctive style of mark making.
In 2010, Sarah launched Forget me Not. As the name reflects, she paints or draws precious objects, people or places, taken from life or from photos. We all hoard things that we cannot throw out, or miss special people of places. Objects we have tucked away in a drawer. A painting brings those memories alive again. It may be a collection of objects on a shelf or a favourite toy or a former home.
In 2012, Trinity Arthouse was born. These are small, friendly and mutually supportive art classes for beginners and intermediates. They are held in the studio at home and are deliberately small - with only a maximum of 5 students in each. The focus ranges from teaching basic skills in drawing and painting for beginners to supporting more experienced students to develop their skills further.
