Sara is the gallery owner and over the years, she has evolved into being a mixed media artist! 

Bright colours are the defining marker of her work, and she likes to experiment. 

She uses a gel plate to pull her own prints to make collage paintings, and the small left over pieces are made into bookmarks, fridge magnets and jewellery - brooches, pendant necklaces and earrings! Nothing goes to waste!
