Sarah grew up all too familiar with the smell of turpentine, mangled tubes of paint and paint splattered water basins. As a child it was commonplace for her artist father to ask her for advice on one of his paintings in progress. This boosted her self-confidence in her abilities as an artist.

Although her surroundings embraced art, Sarah’s true passion for painting didn’t surface until her early twenties when she began teaching children to draw and paint. Within a year, she was instructing nearly two hundred children each week in the basics of drawing and painting. It was through teaching that Sarah discovered her love for painting in watercolor.

While this site is devoted to her watercolor portraits of dogs and cats, Sarah’s range of work also includes portraits of children, lanscapes and floral arrangements, some of which can be viewed in this gallery.

Sarah and her husband of twenty years, Ted, reside in Southern California with their three children. She devotes most of her time to her family and painting.
