Biography
Sarah Graham is British painter born in Hitchin in 1977.
Sarah Graham studied for a foundation course in art and design, followed by a BA in Fine Art at the De Montfort University, Leicester (graduated with honors in 2000).
Sarah is entirely motivated by colour, and as a realist painter, this inevitably leads to the subject matter of toys and sweets. It allows Sarah to explore extremely vivid colour and at the same time manipulate the structure and form of an image. Having trawled sweetshops, markets, eBay, and her mother's attic to find her subject, Sarah takes a staged photograph before beginning the painting process. Sarah Graham translates the image onto canvas by lightly sketching it in yellow paint, followed by a more detailed under painting which acts as a map for the final painting.
