Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker is an emerging Toowoomba artist who aims to connect with people through the deep, colourful, and quirky paintings she creates.

“Creativity has been in my veins since existence. From learning colour names in my first words, to drawing sessions during my bio dad’s leukaemia treatments, to using art to cope with trauma in my teen years and beyond, it’s part of who I am” ~Sarah Walker

Sarah has always been attracted to the still life genre for its ability to capture celebratory moments in time with perishable items of fruit, flowers, food items, and other objects that show the moment of beauty, with things that will decay. This sums up the overarching experience of life, finding times of joy, through the trauma, and the fleeting years you have.
