Celebrated for her vivid use of colour and energetic style, Sarah McDonald’s semi-abstract paintings arerichin texture inspired by the natural environment.

Parks and Posies is a combination of two things she loves. Representing places of interest to her, inspired by bush walks and taking her kids to parks and frequent trips to local florists.

Some graphic elements, partnered with vivid abstract fields of colour and energetic mark making, draw the viewer in and connect with people.

“I enjoy exploring the paints physicality, allowing the work to develop and change throughout the building process. My Paintings are made by laying on very thick oil paint using brushes and palette knives as my tool to apply this. Exaggerated colour and light are both important elements in my work, as are the paint marks that render movement and a tactile experience. I respond intuitively when translating my subject matter onto canvas and choosing my colours yet, at the same time, it is considered. I invite the viewer to make their own connections and draw on memories and experiences.”
