She creates her art and illustrations by hand, using a wide variety of mixed media. She spends time annually in London and New York, as well as travelling in Europe and North America - with a suitcase of art materials and A4 scanner in her luggage so that she is able to work as she travels. She lives on a picturesque farm on Australia's Gold Coast, where she finds inspiration in the flora and fauna, palm trees and pastel coloured sunsets, and the history of tourism in the locale. Sarah’s art explores contemporary politics and events, celebrity and the perversities of popular culture.
