‘MACY’ was done to commemorate my family dog, Macy. She passed away earlier this year, and it was a heartbreaking loss. My mother held a very special bond with Macy, so this painting is for her!

‘WEST COAST CHICKADEE’ was done as a commission for my cousin. He had asked for a bird in my signature fauvist animal style.
When I began this painting, I had no idea how the finished product would appear. I didn't even know the colour palate I was aiming for. I continued to combine bright colour with bold and sporadic lines until the painting felt complete.
Paintings with minimal plan and direction are the most fun to create. They also take me the least amount of time!

‘RED SEA’ is the first painting I completed in 2020.
This painting went through a serious evolution. It began as a garden scene, then evolved to a frog and then a hummingbird. By the time I decided to follow my instinct to paint something abstract, the canvas has countless layers of paint on it. It told many different stories.
If you observe ‘RED SEA’ carefully, you can spot the different textures that depict previous versions of the painting. These features give ‘RED SEA’ a sense of character that I could never have planned.
When I look at this painting, I’m reminded to trust my process (to learn more about my process, click here!). I am also encouraged to see my failed trials/ideas as experiences that enrich a final piece.
‘RED SEA’ original canvas is $650. Multiple print sizes are available upon request.

‘CANNONBALL’ was done in 2020. I painted her after coming across the sweetest dog while walking through the neighbourood. She was perched on the fence, just as she is in the painting. I didn’t know the dog’s real name, so I named her Cannonball.

‘THE DANCE’ is one of my newer paintings. After I finished ‘RED SEA‘, I was inspired to do something else bold and colourful. This painting was the result.
Like most of my pieces, ‘THE DANCE’ took various forms before becoming what it is. It originated as an abstract piece with a much different colour scheme. Slowly, after much trial and error, it became this!

‘RED ROOSTER’ is inspired by my favourite Red Rooster wine label.
Some might call me a “judge a wine by it’s label” type a girl. Maybe even a “I don’t know enough about wine to make a choice based on anything but the artwork on the bottle” kind of person. Either way, I lucked out big time when I stumbled across the Red Rooster Merlot. The wine was delicious, and label made a lasting impression.
I was immediately drawn to the rooster’s intense glare. He seemed angry about something. Almost like he was vindictive. I wanted to bring him further to life.
I never intended my painting to look so violent, but that’s certainly how I see it now. The rooster looks as though he’s ready to take a stand again something. He’s out for blood.

'SELF PORTRAIT’ was done soon after I moved to BC.
The skull portion of the portrait was inspired by a face painting that my friend had done (see below). I loved the look of the half skull, and thought it would translate well to acrylic paint!

‘WEST COAST HUMMINGBIRD’ is a favourite of mine.
I did this painting after completing a pencil crayon sketch of the same hummingbird. I fell in love with the shape and colours of the animal, and wanted to recreate it on a much larger scale. This painting was the result.

‘PARROT’ was a fun painting for me to do. I enjoyed exaggerating the beauty of the bird through distorted lines and colour blotches. Sometimes I think I overdid it. Other times, I think it’s just as it should be.
I thoroughly enjoy painting birds. A bird offers up unlimited opportunity to stylize an already interesting subject. The colours, shapes, and textures are an endless source of inspiration. There will certainly be more birds to come from Sarah’s Bedroom Studio!

‘FACE BURST’ was the painting that started it all for me. It began as a fairly standard portrait, then evolved into this stylized burst of shapes and colour. It was through this painting that I discovered my signature fauvism-inspired abstract style.

I painted ‘TOFINO BLUE’ after a weekend getaway to Tofino, BC (Canada’s surf town!).
This little guy visited our campsite consistently throughout our weekend stay. I snapped a couple of photos, knowing I’d want to paint the beautiful bird at some point. He was such a small but mighty creature!

‘LOVE’ is my first depiction of a human subject in years.
When I first started painting (approx. 10 years ago), I only painted portraits. I stuck to this subject matter for a very long time. It wasn’t until about 3 years ago that I started experimenting with the bold and colourful abstract/animal-style work you see in my portfolio today.
Now that I have completed ‘LOVE’, I feel like I’m slowly warming up to the idea of painting people again!
Thank you to Drue, my muse.

‘PATCHWORK’ was done shortly after ‘FACE BURST’. It was a continued exploration of the fauvism-inspired abstract style I had just discovered.
