ABOUT SARAH
I was born in 1961 and brought up in Weobley, Herefordshire. I painted and drew from an early age, often inspired by the beautiful north Herefordshire landscape. My first career took me away from art, but the urge to paint did not leave me. In 2011 I changed career and returned to painting full time. Although I am now living and working in Greater Manchester my inspiration remains largely that of nature or the natural form.
I love colour and texture and I paint mainly in oils often using palette knives to create texture.
I exhibit regularly and work is always available to see in my studio as well as online. During the past year I had two very successful solo shows, ‘Inspiring Derbyshire’ which featured paintings from my blog ‘Inspiring Art Walks with Sarah Morley’, at The Green Man Gallery, Buxton in October and November
2017 and ‘Force of Nature’ at Castle Park Arts Centre, Frodsham, Cheshire in May and June 2018.
I have also had work in several group shows including showing and selling my work in London for the first time. There are always other exhibitions coming up. I have included a Latest Exhibitions page on this website which gives some further information on up and coming exhibitions and a list of past shows.

I also teach art to small groups of students in my studio. I offer occasional workshops and I am available for demonstrations. For more information on this please visit my Classes and Teaching page on this website
