“One of the greatest things in the world is to train ourselves to see beauty in the commonplace.” – Charles Hawthorne
Sarah Sedwick is an oil painter whose contemporary still lifes celebrate the beauty of the everyday, inspired by color combinations, energetic brushwork, and dynamic composition. Working in a style she calls Loose Realism, her paintings explore the undercurrents of meaning we impart to the objects around us – whether through personal symbolism or the evocative power of memory.
