The sea is something I’ve always been fascinated with. In particular, the mesmerising sparkle in the sun!

With this Wildflower painting I have incorporated, for the first time, the sea and to give it the beautiful glistening sparkle that I so adore, I have added ‘diamond dust’ to the sea area for a stunning sparkly result.

Hope you enjoy, Sara x

To give you a little background, I started painting originally for stress relief and therapy when I suddenly started having seizures 3 months before I was due to graduate from a Physiotherapy degree! My whole life turned upside down as you can imagine. But I believe ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I couldn’t imagine my life without my art now.

In 2018 I was discovered by a Publisher, Artko Ltd, who supply framed prints of my work to shops throughout the UK. My bestselling pieces are my ‘Love Trees’.

My work is currently in various shops including John Lewis and Dunelm and links to these can be found below…
