In the last thirty years Sara has exhibited widely in Britain, Eastern Europe and the U.S. She studied Fine Art (Painting) in London and Manchester and later gained an MPhil in Art History at Glasgow University. In the late 1980s Sara was awarded a British Council/Polish Government Postgraduate Scholarship to paint in Gdansk, Poland for three years, followed by a few months in Budapest. Her art lecturing in the ‘80s and ‘90s  took her as far ranging as Australia, India, Chile, Estonia, Russia, North America and the UK.

As a child, Sara lived in Central Africa and a number of places around the UK, notably Devon and Northumberland. The travel bug was well caught, and from college years onwards she spent time exploring, living and working in other continents, experiences of which shaped her both as a person and a working artist. Sara was based in Edinburgh for most of the 1990′s – a productive time for teaching and painting – and in 1998 moved to N. Carolina in the U.S. for four years where she had her first two children and continued to paint and teach. She then moved back to the UK with her family, living in North London followed by a final move to the South Hams in Devon in 2006. Since starting a family fourteen years ago, she has been running art workshops privately for adults and in primary and secondary schools. She is a registered workshop leader for DAISI, Barefoot, TR2 and SW Gifted & Talented Education.

Her latest project, while running the small holding and workshops from her home studio, is creating spaces for artists or writers to work and think.
