The Artist - Sarah Sweet

As a mature student Sarah attended Winchester School of Art to study Textile Design (print) at degree level obtaining a first class degree, and in the process finding her Abstract style that was first used as a basis for her furnishing designs. After leaving Winchester in 1996 she freelanced initially for a couple of years enjoying success by selling to major textile manufacturers including amongst others Marks & Spencers.

Sarah has been involved in a variety of diverse artistic projects including National Lottery Sponsored Public Art where she became a member of the Bristol based art group Open City. In 1998 Sarah designed a range of metal animal garden ornaments which proved to be instantly popular and have been on display at the Chelsea Flower Show.

The year 2000 proved to be a turning point for Sarah as she returned to her roots exhibiting in galleries and acquiring a studio where she has been kept busy being commissioned by both corporate and private customers.
