About the Artist
You can read more about Sarah and her work on her website and in the extract below:
I’m a printmaker living in South Wales.
Man-made landscapes, and agricultural, industrial and urban environments are recurring themes in my work.
I have always been fascinated by our nation’s heritage and the architectural shapes and patterns of the landscape which tell us so much about the history and culture of a place. My recent work primarily focuses on my heritage and the significance of treasured objects and heirlooms.
Through printmaking techniques, I challenge myself to explore new ways to present my observations. I mostly create intricate, hand-cut paper stencils, and screen print layers of vibrant colour to build images. Much like a painting, I work from the background, adding depth and detail. I like to break the rules of traditional printmaking and experiment by layering light pigments over dark, enjoying the translucency and opacity of the medium.
About the Studio
You can find us in a row of terraced houses, look out for our fabulous door surround set in a green painted house front; the intercom buzzer is on the left of the entrance.
Parking is free all day outside the studio on Sundays only. On Saturday, there is 1 hour parking outside the studio, so you can park there to unload any bags. 3 hour parking is available outside of the controlled city centre zone. There are also multiple long stay car parks in the town centre.
We are close to the main shopping centre and supermarket. There are some facilities for making a hot drink, microwave if you would like to bring along your lunch.
