ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This was one of my very first pieces that I painted for my own home and after having this on my wall for over a year, I'm ready to let someone else enjoy its beauty and intrigue. This large canvas painting was initially supposed to be strokes of random bright colour, however as it ends up with most of my paintings, I start to see images or outlines unfold that I then tend to work with. I recall on this one using a spatula to smear white paint in different directions and as I did a woman kneeling, but reaching upwards, started to unfold before me. It seemed natural to then paint a man likewise reaching down, as if the two had experienced something during life that was causing them to collude together with support and love. Hence the title, Reaching Out was born. Although this painting has all the colours of the rainbow present surrounding the image of the couple, the use of a mixture of more pastel colours within the bolder bright colours helps to balance each other and ultimately give this modern painting a vibrant yet soft, calming energy. I will be sad to see this trendy artwork leave my home given its sentimental value in kick starting my career as an Emerging Artist in Australia, but it is time for this 185 x 122cm painting that has been framed in Oak and stained white to be appreciated by a new home.

I was secretly hoping you’d stop past to find out more about me, Sarah Jane Modern Abstract Artist from Adelaide, Australia. A cheeky, down to earth individual who just loves getting messy with on trend colours to create huge soulful modern artworks with a design edge. As you step into my world, you will discover that each Original Painting I create carries with it a stylish, contemporary format that contains a piece of my heart and soul. I pour every ounce of my charismatic fun spirit into my paintings and it’s my aspiration for us both to: BREATHE INTHE COLOUR CONNECT WITH THE STORY CHANGE THE WORLD ONE PAINTING AT A TIME BREATHE IN THE COLOUR For me, its important to refer the right energy to a painting. With each colour capable of sparking an emotional response to influence our mood I say Breathe in the colour, breathe in that energy! To achieve that right balance of energy I never force myself to paint. Instead I take to a canvas when inspiration and creativity take a hold. Often nature stimulates that flair of expressionism, so you can repeatedly find me outdoors painting the next modern art original for my collectors around the globe. CONNECT WITH THE STORY Now did I mention that I love painting BIG modern abstract artwork! Yes painting oversized art allows my spirit to shine. It permits me to create a real statement piece that draws your attention immediately, capturing your senses with a stunning visual experience. But I want you to experience more than just beauty. I want you to feel the story behind the strokes of paint. I want to take you on an emotional, connective journey with my arts powerful story. Afterall a piece that resonates with us reminds us just how alive we are. CHANGE THE WORLD ONE PAINTING AT A TIME Although I still love painting straight abstract, I have gravitated towards figurative abstract art over the years to change the world one painting at a time through colour, energy and story. Art has the power to speak the truth and create change and I harness that in my work, intentionally always attempting to create a positive spin. We all have a story. We all deserve to be heard. So I invite you to come with me on this journey of change towards a kinder world with your story and mine. It’s our stories which allow us all to connect and this is what drives me every day.
