Statement

Statement

Sarah Knox is an established artist based in Edinburgh. Her practice involves sketching en plein air and responding to the sensation of landscape. Renowned for her oil and watercolour paintings of landscapes and seascapes with dissolving forms and light, her studio work has evolved to become more abstract and expressive, exploring the alchemy of pigment and medium. Sarah accepts commissions, teaches master classes and is a member of the freelance education team for the National Galleries of Scotland.

Biography

Sarah exhibits widely and her work is represented by Doubtfire Gallery, Velvet Easel Gallery and Strathearn Gallery.

Sarah has been been honoured to be a selected artist representing Scotland at Fabriano in Acquarello 2018 -2025 an international watercolour convention in Italy.

She values her relationship with collectors and followers and for the last ten years has taken part in Pittenweem Arts Festivals and Artwalk Porty in Portobello – events which make contemporary art accessible and where the client meets the artist.

Sarah continues her art teaching by working freelance for National Galleries of Scotland and also teaches adult painting classes and one-to-one portfolio classes.

Recently, Sarah has exhibited with Doubtfire Gallery, Strathearn Gallery, Velvet Easel Gallery, Tatha Gallery, Art in Healthcare, Edinburgh Printmakers, Marchmont Gallery, Fidra Fine Art, Found Gallery, WASPS Patriothall, Rheged Centre, Cumbria  and The Maltings, Wells-next-the-sea, Norfolk. Sarah is a regular contributor to Visual Arts Scotland and Society of Scottish Artists Open Call exhibitions. Her artwork is represented in many private and public collections including Art in Healthcare, University of Exeter and University of London. Her work is often inspired by travel and this began when she was awarded a postgraduate art travelling scholarship to USSR by University of London.

Sarah was thrilled to be awarded VACMA bursaries to refresh lithographic printmaking skills in 2023 and 2024.
