Educated at The London College of Printing, Sarah works across various mediums including fine art, printmaking, screen print, digital design, collage & photography - mixing techniques to produce her striking artworks. Her work is inspired by fierce women, music & nostalgia and is showcased in galleries across Europe and the U.S.

Through her recent popular mirror work, Sarah invites the viewer to temporarily become part of the work and experience. The interaction evokes introspection and suggests something beyond the surface and reflection. She explains, "Whether refracting the gaze or revealing the truth within, mirrors carry powerful symbolism. In ancient civilisations, mirrors were more than just tools for seeing your reflection, they were symbols of magic and wisdom - not only showing you physical experience but connecting to a spiritual world. For me, they are also tools for healing the soul. She often invites the viewer to question and affirm their relationship with themselves aiming to empower and strengthen.

Sarah currently lives and works in London.
