Sarah Jane Tart

Sarah Jane Tart is a graphic designer turned artist who fell in love with painting coastal landscapes. Then in an unexpected twist of fate, she moved to a sweet, little seaside town where she was able to take her dream of being a full-time artist and make it a reality. Now, she spends her days painting in a sunshine-filled art studio with her snuggly golden retriever, or taking her easel on the road to create artwork inspired by her travels. Her work explores nature, and is infused with joy and a love of color. Tart has collaborated with brands like Hotel Poseidon Positano, her art is featured on the set of Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, and she has shown her work at Magnolia and Serena & Lily.

Tart is an impressionistic painter who uses vivid colors and expressive brushwork to create dreamlike landscapes. Starting with rich washes of color, she moves freely through the work. With each pass more details emerge, like a story unfolding. Viewing a Sarah Jane Tart painting feels like walking into a beautiful memory. It’s a reminder to see the best in life, and an invitation to reflect that beauty back to the world.
