Sarah Fletcher
CREATIVE PRACTICE
Pencil on paper, black and white and colour drawings.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Sarah is a relative newcomer to the art world, but has always had a love of creativity, leaving school to study Graphic Design, during which she realised she had a passion for drawing, particularly portraiture and what could be achieved with the simplicity of pencil on paper. Her early works won awards, and caught the eye of Lloyd Hornsby, curator and owner of Gawura Gallery to encourage her to develop her art practice. In a short period of time, Sarah’s work is in high demand, being one of the sought-after artists at Gawura Gallery.
Sarah’s work is influenced by the Rural New England Region, having grown up on the family farm in Glen Innes. With a medium of pencil, and a focus on realism and attention to detail, she has a goal for each artwork to capture the character, emotion and story behind the subject. Beginning primarily in black and white, she has begun exploring colour and how that can add depth in bringing an artwork to life.
