Featured Artist for August - Sarah Andrews
Growing up in a military family, I moved frequently as a child. In each new town or city, the first stop was the local museum, inspiring a love of history, architecture and the decorative arts. I’m compelled by the way everyday objects can be beautiful when viewed from a particular angle, in a certain light or up close.
My painting is eclectic as I search for ‘my style,’ experimenting in many different techniques, but I’ve consistently come back to the texture and fall of light and shadow on everyday spaces and objects. I’m currently working on a series of paintings all “Looking Up” at architectural features but am getting distracted by the wonderful opportunities afforded by backlit subjects on Yupo. You’ll see a little bit of everything here – enjoy!
