I moved from a coal mining village in Wales to Keswick 34 years ago where everything seemed coal dust black and gray. Now I paint in glorious colour of Cumbria views where all the above are included plus paragliders, hikers & dog walkers, couples holding hands & children playing games even the rescue helicopter & don’t forget to look for my signature, it’s there somewhere!
Contemporary artist Sarah Taylor is based on the west coast of Cumbria. She paints animals, faces and landscapes in a unique and distinctive style that evokes a strong sense of character. Sarah’s eye -catching paintings have an illustrative quality that oozes energy and adventure. Sarah loves colour, she loves working with liquids that she blows around the canvas.The splashes are juxtaposed with geometrics and fine lines that make the paintings come alive. Read More
