As a Fine Art Printmaker, Sarah specialises in hand-inked, original collagraph prints inspired by the Dorset landscape. Using carefully built collage blocks, her work combines the vibrant colours of oil-based printing inks with the textural qualities of the materials she uses. This combination produces a distinctive look that makes her work instantly recognisable. Having experimented with a number of techniques she now works almost exclusively in this way, constantly alighting on new materials to experiment with, such as chopped chives and oatmeal, as well as the more conventional string, kitchen salt and corrugated card.
Sarah's 'Textural Landscape' series explores the geographical variety of her home county, Dorset. From hidden coves and rocky coastal paths to dense woodland and vast vistas overhung by massive skies, she finds it is a never ending wealth of inspiration.
