Sarah
Oil painter · Moment-keeper · Western Australian Visualist
Sarah paints with intention — bold colour, minimal brushstrokes, and a keen sense of capturing a moment in time. Many of her works are small-scale, inviting a spontaneity that allows her to complete a piece in a single sitting — an alla prima expression of light, mood, and memory.
Born on India’s west coast in Mumbai, and raised on Australia’s west coast in Perth, Sarah has nurtured her creative instincts since childhood. Drawing and crafting were early companions, long before she picked up her first oil brush.
Now, rooted in the coastal communities around Scarborough, WA, Sarah channels the playfulness, energy, and warmth of beach life into her paintings. Her subjects are local — sunlit surf, figures gathered along the shore, marine life glimpsed just beneath the waves, and joyful fragments of summer days. With expressive brushwork and vibrant palettes, she infuses each scene with emotion, presence, and a sense of belonging.
Her approach is reductive yet evocative: she pares back detail to essential lines, forms, and colours, trusting the viewer’s imagination to complete the picture. The result is work that feels immediate — a captured breath, a flash of light, or a memory cast in pigment.
Sarah’s art invites us to pause, to see the everyday moments around us as worthy of attention. In celebrating local life, she bridges past and present — the Indian skies of her birth and the Australian shores she calls home — through a vision that is entirely hers.
