Sarah Alexander - BVA/PGDip
Sarah’s work combines traditional painterly techniques with hand-crafted sewn elements which come crashing together to reveal quirky yet intimate narratives of places within the mind. Her influences range from the natural landscapes of faraway places, to the films from Studio Ghibli, to the puppies she sees here and there, and this is only naming a few. It is these broad interests that keep her dreaming and creating places for strange creatures to reside.
Having graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from AUT in 2008 and a Post Graduate Diploma the following year, Sarah now paints from her studio at the Corban Estate Arts Centre. She wishes she could be surrounded by cute, small animals on a daily basis, but has learned to make do with the ones she sews.
