Originally from Monaghan, Sarah completed her BA(Hons) Fine Art (First Class) at Loughborough University, England. She has taken part in residencies in several countries and has been shortlisted for two London based awards ‘The Young Contemporary Purchase Prize’ and the Graduate ‘Works in Print’ Prize. In 2016, Sarah completed her Fine Art Masters (Distinction) at the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland. Sarah is currently based in Dublin and continues to exhibit in Ireland with a recent Solo Show at the Sunburst Gallery, Ards Art Centre, Co.Down. Sarah also exhibits internationally with locations including China, New York, Finland and Sweden.
In her practice Sarah adopts a multi-media approach to making, which considers the medium of painting as an interdisciplinary investigation. She explores what it is that defines an art object both in relation to its fabrication as well as it’s situational context. In her most recent artwork, she uses plaster to cast individual panels that resemble paintings, investigating how the use of a particular material ‘plaster’ can change our understanding of an artwork.
