Sarah Lim-Murray

A London based artist, Sarah had a multi-disciplinary training when she was in art college, from drawing, design, embroidery, painting, and sculpture to stain glass. Originally from Singapore, she obtained a diploma in Art and Design before moving to London where she graduated with a BA(Hons) in Central St Martins – University of The Arts London.

Her favourite medium is oil, using the classic style oil painting techniques to create contemporary pieces.     

She gets her inspirations from observing life, exploring a concept or a current topic. Her body of work ranges from traditional realistic portraits, contemporary landscapes to topical themes in graphic style.

The range comes from the diversity of her passions, she was once a classical chorister in the national ensemble of Singapore and later on a manager of a Hip Hop dance company in London. These experiences influence the conceptual approach in her art. She strives for a spectrum of styles often with a strong female presence to engage her audiences.

She has exhibited in art fairs and galleries in London, Milan, Monaco, Venice, Singapore.
