About me

I feel very fortunate to live with my husband, daughter and her family in an old oast house deep in the Sussex countryside. Having bred sheep and kept horses for a few years, we now enjoy time with our two dogs and some chickens. 

Our son and his family live nearby and we all love spending time together, here at the Oast.  This special place offers constant inspiration for my work. Here I feel close to the seasons and the wildlife.

I have always loved animals. I had a wonderful childhood in Kent growing up on a farm with mixed arable, hops, fruit, beef cattle, sheep, ponies, dogs and cats. 

Art wasn’t focused on at my school but I was always drawing my ponies and dogs.

Customer Review

Sarah did a wonderful picture of our Staffie, Oscar. She completely captured his look and the detail was superb. We are delighted.

Commissions

I create hand-drawn pencil portraits of pets and wildlife, focusing on capturing their unique character and charm. Whether it’s a much-loved pet or a favourite animal, a custom drawing is a beautiful way to keep a special memory forever.

You may upload up to five photographs of your pet via the Contact Form.  Please read the ‘Tips to taking a good photograph of your pet’ which gives you advice on taking the best quality photos of your pet.  Once I have had a look at the photos I will be in touch with you to discuss ideas and possibilities.
