Sara Abbott

“There has always been a sense of urgency in my work, will I have enough time to create the perfect picture, will what I leave behind be valued. It almost doesn’t matter, it’s the only thing I can do, the only thing that satisfies, it’s almost a spiritual calling.”

Sara’s work primarily concerns itself with the surface of living things, be that skin, fur or feathers, her animal paintings are sparse, yet at the same time so alive, capturing the spirit of the beast. These vivid, vibrant creatures demand to be noticed. Her human figures hold you captive as they gaze out at you, daring you to question her talent for composition fused with deft technical skill.

Sara is a self taught artists working in her studio in Hove. Her work has been purchased by private collectors in the UK and abroad.
