Sarah lives in the Scottish highlands and works full time as an artist.
b. 1985
Sarah grew up between Colorado and upstate NY, spending most of her time playing in the woods or doing team sports at school. A deep appreciation and love for nature was instilled at an early age, which now plays a vital role in her focus as an artist.
Over the decades Sarah's career shifted between many creative mediums, especially photography and interior design. Her passion for painting began to develop as she explored the Rocky Mountains and wanted a way to communicate her love for nature in a deeper way.
