Throughout Sarah Gillard’s career, she has been inspired by colour and one look at her astonishingly vibrant paintings is enough to see where her influence lies. Her love of colour helped her to become a colourist at the acclaimed Liberty Design Studio in 1989 and it was during her time here that Sarah discovered the wonders of gouache and first began to be inspired by the flowers in her mother’s garden; a theme that would go on to shape her entire career as an artist. Her first solo exhibition was at the Lyric Theatre in London in 1993.
Her paintings exude the beauty and exuberance of an English summer meadow. The sunshine in her work is almost tangible and her application of paint to achieve the delicacy of each flower is breath-taking. Her method of painting is energetic and spontaneous, qualities that mirror her personality. She has a passion for nature that has taken her from the herbaceous borders of an English cottage garden as far afield as France, Italy and Greece.
