I started a fine art degree, but after a week of lectures I came to the realisation that I had made a horrible mistake,&#8221; Sarah remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Art at university was nothing like I had hoped. I wanted to learn a craft to make me a brilliant painter. It was nothing like that and I dropped out the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Like many creative kids, I veered towards a more stable creative career path,&nbsp;studying&nbsp;and working in Interior Design.&nbsp;My career fulfilled me for many years and I was fortunate enough to work both here and overseas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Then one day, saddened by the fact that I hadn\u2019t practiced art in any form for almost 15 years, I picked up a brush, and started painting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

outlet after her son was born that Sarah turned to painting.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I picked up a paintbrush again about 3 and a half years ago.&nbsp;Initially I set out to find an outlet from the monotony of nappy changes and feeding after my son was born,&#8221; Sarah says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;However&nbsp;one thing led to&nbsp;another&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;been blessed to be able to turn my creative passion into a thriving career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I often think of my painting as part time, as I fit it in around family life.&nbsp;However&nbsp;I&#8217;m&nbsp;quite sure If I added it up, it would be full-time hours and then some!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;One of my biggest challenges has been finding balance with&nbsp;the work.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;really had to become disciplined with my time&nbsp;in order to&nbsp;make it all work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color

garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;too hard to see why botanicals have been such&nbsp;a large influence&nbsp;in my work!&nbsp;Looking back on my earliest sketches and paintings, they were mostly flowers and plants from my parents garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think my early influences and upbringing have played a big&nbsp;role&nbsp;in the work I am drawn towards making.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;always enjoyed the challenge presented by painting and drawing in a realistic fashion.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-black-color

like photographs.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I work from photographs, and&nbsp;am&nbsp;constantly collecting and collating ideas wherever I am,&#8221; smiles Sarah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If&nbsp;I&#8217;m&nbsp;putting a still life composition&nbsp;together,&nbsp;I will often take hundreds of photos, from every different angle with different vases, and props.&nbsp;The vast majority of these will never&nbsp;see the light of day, but one or two may make the cut.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;More and more&nbsp;these days I find myself combining elements from multiple images to create one perfect composition. I will also leave things out or alter the scale of elements to create the strongest final image I can.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Once the kids are both in school,&nbsp;I really want to try my hand at en&nbsp;plein&nbsp;air painting [a French phrase meaning, &#8220;<em>in the open air<\/em>,&#8221; describes the process of painting a landscape outdoors] and get out of the studio for a couple of days a week.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Big thank you to Sarah for sharing her story with us.
