About Sarah Bale

 
 
  • Biography
    After studying textile design at Chelsea School of Art, I worked as a textile designer, producing surface pattern designs and artwork for a number of clients. In 2016, I gained a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art from the University of Suffolk. I have continued my studies with the Royal Drawing School, London.


    Artist Statement 
    Films and literature are a rich source of inspiration and an important part of my research when starting a piece of work. Ink, acrylic, pens, pencils and pastels are all mediums I use when making my pictures. Old photographs are often my starting point. The final artwork is infused with elements of people, places or a mood captured in a photographic image or a film. 

    2020 Portraits for NHS heroes painting highlighted on the Google Arts and Culture exhibition.

    2020 Three works selected for the The ING Discerning Eye exhibition. The work Arabella was used on the official invitation to the exhibition.
