Her artwork is featured on Surrey Muse poster for June 2023. Here’s Sarah’s artist statement: ‘I define myself as a Contemporary Collage Artist. I use digital and analog processes working in a variety of media. The main thread running through all my images is the human relationship with nature and the natural world portrayed with a sense of mystery and wonder. My digital works are ethereal and dreamlike with an otherwordly aesthetic. I am particularly interested in flowers and plants as metaphors.’
