Sarah Wimperis is a traditional figurative artist, painting plein air in oils or watercolour.  Her larger studio paintings are completed using plein air reference either at home in her Cornish studio or on her travels in her mobile studio. 

Sarah, a compulsive sketchbook keeper,  gathers painting inspiration through travel and visiting new places and finds herself drawn to domestic subject matter; complex interiors, markets, gardens. 

Sarah was born into a family with artistic roots that began on the Lizard, Cornwall in 1650 and stretched as far as New Zealand. At an early age, she ran away to sea to study Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art and graduated with a degree in sculpture. She then exhibited with several galleries including the Portal Gallery in London and illustrated for the BBC and the National Trust.

Sarah travelled the world, painting all the way, to China, Russia, Israel and Norway, living and teaching art in Norway and France. She returned to Cornwall and set up a mural company as well as working as an illustrator while her five children were young.

She has worked as a gallery manager and was the only English artist/ animator who worked on the film “Loving Vincent”. Sarah also works for Artlook Software as Client Support and Artist Ambassador.
