Sarah Stuart

Semi - abstract expressive sea and coastal paintings in water soluble oils and mixed media, based around the South Wight where I live. After years of producing small detailed works, I now paint intuitively in larger formats. Heading towards abstraction, forever trying to capture a real sense of the places that I love. 

Originals on canvas and paper and fine art cards.

I grew up on the Island and had a talent for drawing and painting from an early age. I left school to attend art college in Southampton, but life took me down a different path and I actually ended up with a career in biological sciences instead of the Arts. For many years I produced no art at all. But when I moved back to the West Wight with my young family I  finally had the opportunity to return to art full time. I live in an area of such outstanding natural beauty and I have to respond to it most days by painting.
