Sara Chandler.  Artist.  

My childhood was spent in Wiltshire, out on the Salisbury Plain. After gaining my degree I spent a happy 40 years as an art educator.  

In 2017, as vice principal of a large comprehensive, I left the rhythm of the classroom for a quieter journey: a journey to rediscover a more personal, creative path. This is a constant challenge. 

Drawing remains important to my practice and reminds me that seeing is very different to looking.  I regularly work outside in the landscape and belong to a life drawing group.  

The development of my observations happens in the studio where I experiment with colour relationships to produce semi-abstract images.  I work mostly in oil-based media for my paintings and a variety of graphic media for my larger drawings.
