This bright piece was inspired by my experiences as a black African woman living in Britain. It questions that while we retain our culture through braided hair, music and food is can be hard to identify yourself. The piece is a celebration of African print and also African inspired hairstyles. While the woman is not dressed traditionally she signifies the identity of myself. A Ghanaian with a British connection. Not only because I was born and raised in London but also the colonial past. Am I black British, Black African or Black other? This piece encourages a dialogue surrounding this question.

Born and raised in London with a cultural mix of Ghanaian and Indian parentage Sarah grew up in the Bohemian area of Notting Hill often visiting Portobello Road Market for clothes and fruit and vegetables. She has always enjoyed art and fashion and will spend hours in galleries. Sarah finds creating her pieces peaceful and is always looking out for inspiration in shapes, images and colours. Previously having ran a stall in Portobello Road Market selling women's accessories and once working in the field of health and social care specifically with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. These experiences have helped shape the work she completes and her view of the world. Making art accessible and enjoyable for everyone is of the utmost importance to Sarah as an Artist. Her work seeks to be bold and enjoy the use of colour. All works are carried out by hand, every shape and line is cut individually. She believes there is perfection in imperfection. Sarah enjoys travelling and has gained the most inspiration for her work in Cuba, Ghana, India and Italy. Some of Sarah's original artworks can be found at the Antique Modern Mixture store at number 302 to 306 Kings Road, Chelsea, London, SW3 5UH. Pop in to see her works in the flesh! Sarah will also have her own website by late January and will share the web address here. To view updated work please see my Instagram page at instagram.com/artbysarahasante Six of Sarah's works will also be represented by the Van Gogh Art gallery in 2025.
