Welcome to my world of Urban Landscape Painting.... unveiling the extraordinary in the ordinary!

1st place winner at River Towns Plein Air 2022

I go to 'ordinary' places and unveil their extraordinary-ness for you to enjoy, because living with original art can
transform you by lifting your spirits and inspiring you
EVERY   SINGLE   DAY.
Using Oil Paints and the language of shape, color and design,
I transform overlooked, unnoticed scenes into
Urban Landscape Paintings

Initial impressions can be deceiving. Many just see dirty, gritty, grayness in a street scene, but there is
worth in all things....
sometimes have to look a little harder to see it! 

Urban Landscapes get my blood pumping!

Short video of Sarah painting Take A Number on location

When I walk down a city street, I get excited by the sights and sounds; the colors, textures and shapes.
There is DEFINITELY a rhythm and grace I feel and
try to capture in my paintings.

I go on location and paint what I see. This is called 'plein air painting'. There is nothing like being out on the street, reacting to the light, sounds and, often, the people while painting. You have to focus and respond quickly because conditions change.
It's kind of a spontaneous
art-sport!

When the weather doesn't cooperate I  paint in my home art studio. I use photos and sketches done while out painting as inspiration. Some of this work leans toward the abstract and some is figurative. It is fun to explore varied styles of painting. I enjoy the diversity and believe it makes it more fun for you, the viewer and collector.

Variety is the spice of life, right!

All of the art I do, makes me a better artist in the long run and the goal, after all is...be the best artist I can be to
serve you as best I can with that artwork.
