Sarah says: 'Every new painting I undertake is a fascinating journey of self-discovery, and every new medium or technique an unexplored country, but when someone buys one of my pieces because it speaks to them, or when a client's eyes widen with delight or fill with tears as I unveil their commission, I'm reminded of the immense privileges that the world of art bestows...'

Animal Portraits
An original painting of a favourite horse or dog, or indeed an entire family of animals, can be a gift to treasure and pass on to the next generation. In recent times it has also become a sound financial investment - Sarah is amongst a number of contemporary sporting artists in the UK with a growing reputation and whose work continues to increase in value.
Commissioning your own painting is straightforward. Simply contact the artist direct in the first instance with your ideas. Fees depend upon a number of factors including size, medium, style and subject matter, but generally range between £400-1800 for an oil painting.
Like many animal painters, Sarah works from sketches and photographs but prefers to take her own and meet the subject in person if at all possible. Photography sessions are included in her fee, but beyond the borders of Cheshire, additional travel expenses may be incurred.
By Special Request, a limited number of formal (human) portrait commissions are accepted annually, involving both live sittings and photography. Please ask Sarah for details.
