Collection: Sarah Foat

 Sarah is an abstract artist creating bold, vibrant paintings from her home studio in Salisbury.

With a degree and background in fine art, Sarah’s work is largely inspired by graffiti with a particular fascination for the multiple layers of paint and vivid colour combinations. Using acrylics, she explores textures and colour with a continual process of applying and removing paint in order to reveal glimpses of previous layers. She enjoys experimenting with mark-making and investigating contrasts, not only with colour but also texture, tone, line and space.

Over the years, painting for Sarah has become a kind of escape and a chance to rediscover myself after becoming a mother. She has found that the abstract worlds created on my canvases have been powerful and uplifting. Her hope is that her final pieces encapsulate this positive energy, find balance with chaos and control, and provide a thought-provoking escape for the viewer.
