Sarah Smith

After painting a small watercolour picture as wedding gift for my sister & her husband in 2020, I realised my passions lie with drawing and painting. A Pharmacist at the time, painting was simply a hobby - my means of escaping and finding a moment of peace and mindfulness during my day or week.

As time has progressed, I have been lucky enough to make the transition into a full-time artist. Largely self-taught, I like to draw inspiration from the simplest of creatures, living things or everyday objects.

Through my fine and precise watercolour style I attempt to create bright, fun and light pieces that magnify the beauty and detail of simple subject matter that might otherwise go unseen or overlooked. Ironically it can often be these small items or objects that mean the most to us.

I love the fluid and tranquil nature of watercolour. They take me into a heavy flow-state where time stands still.
