her artworks.

She has been a finalist in Australian national portraiture prizes such as the Doug Moran and Shirley Hannan. Most recently she became a finalist in the prestigious Collie Art Prize.

Her works are in numerous private collections in Australia and Europe.
Sarah has contributed to various group exhibitions including Southwest Art Now, the 24 th

Her solo creative works incorporated animals as the main subject matter within surreal narratives that highlighted environmental and social issues.

Sarah is currently working on a series of paintings of male crossdressers. She uses traditional painting techniques that draw inspiration from the old masters whilst introducing
alternative perspectives through abstract forms and concepts.
