Sarnia De La Mare

I believe strongly in the power of art to enrich, heal, and communicate. I have been a professional artist all my working life having worked in studio management, film, TV and Radio, and more recently as an independent studio artist specialising in painting.

As both curator and exhibiting artist, she produced and hosted hundreds of weekly live performance art events, blending visual art, music, spoken word, and interactive installations. These shows became a staple of Brighton’s underground art scene—radical, immersive, and community-focused.

Sarnia’s practice has consistently blurred the lines between disciplines, championing collaboration and pushing boundaries in both digital and physical spaces.

After relocating to Royal Clarence, she was awarded an Artist Development Grant to expand her online presence. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this digital evolution, leading to a series of virtual exhibitions, animated showcases, and live-streamed creation sessions that marked a new phase in her multidisciplinary practice.
