Sarah Faulkner

Sarah seeks to capture in her work the important relationships humans have with trees, flowers, animals, and all things in the natural world.  She experiments with different materials in order to capture the mysterious and atmospheric qualities found in nature.  Most recently, she has been working with paraffin wax as a finish coat to her paintings.  This translucent and misty material blends and softens the undercoat colors to give her work depth and light.  Sarah also uses a combination of wood putty and glue to build up the surface of the paintings, giving a 3 dimensional quality.  Then multiple layers of paint are applied; first dark colors, then lighter and lighter colors.    Sarah embraces the importance of simplicity and works to simplify her environment.  These efforts are clearly expressed in her paintings.
