Sarah draws her inspiration from observing life, and exploring different concepts and current topics. Her body of work ranges from traditional realistic portraits to contemporary landscapes, as well as topical themes in graphic style. Her art range is influenced by the diversity of her passions, which includes her experience as a classical chorister in the national ensemble of Singapore, a manager of an International street dance company based in London and now a Qigong/Tai Chi teacher. These experiences influence the diverse conceptual approach in her art, often featuring strong female figures and philosophical themes.
