SARAH MORTIMER-DURANT
Anchor 1
Hello, welcome to my website
After a number of years working in the Theatre and Dance Industry, I have become known for my bold and expressive sense of place within my canvases of Cornish landscape and seascape paintings. I like to capture the light, drama and ever changing theatre of the land and sea inherent to Cornwall.
I use Palette knives, large brushes and many other objects to create the mark making, movement and energy within my canvas.
I paint with oil and mixed media to express feelings for the wild, ancient landscape and coastline.
I walk the landscape with my sketchbook trying to capture the wildness and fragility of a place, usually with my two Cocker Spaniels Mavis and Lily.
I exhibit in Cornwall, London and the South East and have paintings in private collections both here and abroad.
" I love Sarah's work. I first encountered it several years ago on a visit to the UK from Canada. I fell I love with a particular piece, after trailing through numerous galleries and studios in West Sussex, looking for THE one. I had to fly home without it but sent for it as soon as I returned home. The painting hangs in pride of place and brings me joy every day.
Sarah brings vibrancy, energy and colour to her work which allows me to immerse myself in the beautiful seascapes of England every time I look at it."
