Introduction
Artist’s Statement – Sarah Orchard
Art has always been an integral part of my life.
At the age of fifty I was able to complete a long awaited foundation course and HNC/D in Fine Art. Following this I have now developed my love of pastels, with tones, movement, colour and people capturing an atmospheric feel within my work..
My love of watercolour has been constant with their wonderful luminosity and transparency;
the more I work with them the more I am
addicted!
Rubens has always inspired me with his fluid fleshy people; Degas and Lautrec, I love with their fabulous ability for simplicity, giving their work such vitality!
I feel that I have been given a talent for a
reason and gradually the purpose shall
unfold
I am at present working on Illustrations for card companies and a book of the New Forest with a friend plus illustrating and writing my own children's book.
