Sarah is a Kiwi-Portuguese artist and writer living just outside Lisbon, where she spends her days painting and observing the subtle magic of being human. Her work centres on the softness, sensuality, humour, and resilience of women. She is drawn to the simple rituals: bodies in sunlight, shared meals, and private thoughts.

Through colour, texture, and language, Sarah explores what it means to feel deeply in a world that can be harsh, and to find beauty anyway. Her paintings and writing are small acts of devotion, almost love letters - to women, to vulnerability, to pleasure, and to the rituals of ordinary life.
