SARAH EDDY

When landscape artist Sarah Eddy is searching for inspiration, she takes to the coast paths. Rambling across the Cornish coastline, the excitement of finding new potential, from the shape of a headland to the ever changing colours of the ocean, resonates in her paintings that make for stunning interpretations of some of Cornwall’s best scenic views. Born in Cornwall, Sarah moved to Brighton as a teenager and lived there for 30 years before moving home.

During that time, Sarah’s initial background and career was in the performing arts and as a founding member and performer with the show ‘Stomp’ Sarah toured the world for 18 years with the show. It wasn’t until her return to Cornwall that her career in painting took flight, “I think when you’re older, you absorb information when you’re learning. I needed another creative outlet after performing and I think there’s a fine line between all the arts. Creative people often cross over into those sub-genres.”

With colour and place going hand in hand, and her continual quest to understand the movement of oil paint through formal study and free painting, Sarah’s works and ever-evolving artistry has proven popular with those seeking to take a piece of Cornwall to their home, “I love the connections people have with my paintings. As it’s Cornwall, people have so many memories they like to share with me and each painting always seems to go to someone who has an attachment to the place I’ve captured.”

With a studio gallery at Princes Street in Truro, visitors can see Sarah’s paintings, including pieces she is currently working on, for themselves every day from Monday to Saturday.
