SARAH FARRAR

Artist Statement

"I truly embrace entering the world of art from an outside field. Because of this, I feel more ‘free’ in my art and open-minded in my approach. As an artist and former healthcare professional, I believe that art has the power to inspire, heal, provoke and offer hope.”

Sarah is constantly driven to explore what objects and ideas inspire her. Initially, her inspirations came from her childhood summers spent in the coastal town of Bluffton, SC.  She has enjoyed painting landscapes or objects such as oysters, birds, old barns, and florals using acrylic on canvas. Sarah also has a love for abstracts. Her medium of choice with her work is primarily acrylic, but often they are layered with watercolor or gouache, and accented with charcoal, oil pastels and ink on paper, canvas or wood panel.

In the past year, murals and hand-painted patterns on walls have become a favorite. Sarah loves the challenge, and is especially drawn to the unique coordination of color, light, balance, and mood in both residential and commercial spaces.

“Painting brings peace and balance to my life. My hope is that the work that I create will bring joy to the lives of those who invest in it."
