Artworks by Sarah Bale

After studying textile design at Chelsea School of Art, I worked as a textile designer, producing surface pattern designs and artwork for a number of clients. In 2016, I gained a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art from the University of Suffolk. I have continued my studies with the Royal Drawing School, London.


Artist Statement 
Films and literature are a rich source of inspiration and an important part of my research when starting a piece of work. Ink, acrylic, pens, pencils and pastels are all mediums I use when making my pictures. Old photographs are often my starting point. The final artwork is infused with elements of people, places or a mood captured in a photographic image or a film. 
2020 Portraits for NHS heroes painting highlighted on the Google Arts and Culture exhibition.
