Space and Dreams

"These new works were inspired by a wild vine that grew over my garden, completely transforming it into a design of its own. It was a call to wonder, a call to attention, a call to decide, “what is in your world?” These sculptures are symbolic evidence of this appeal to consciousness and imagination, but also suggest a larger story of how we shape and are shaped by ourselves and our world; how creation is it not fixed, but fluid, and ongoing."

Blue Hour

Sarah’s work is meant to express the beauty of the world around her, weaving together both realistic and abstract forms.

“I create each painting in the hope to reshape the familiar into the numinous and magical essence of what it carries. It is the brief glimmering speck of a dream, made permanently tangible before it is lost in the waking hours. Joining the realistic with the imagined breathes harmony in the contrast and reshapes and impacts the way we see.”

Ode to the T-Shirt

Helen’s work focuses on conceptual portraiture that explores the nature of representation and the limitless potential of the human figure as a subject. She uses non-traditional portraiture to consider modes of representation and self-expression. Her paintings are all derived from photographs and studies and are mostly documentary in style. Overall, Helen's work expresses human connection and social interactions based on our relationship to our surroundings and one another.
