About the work

The third piece in my lady and kitten series exploring the seasons of waiting, patience and persistence. This one is for rest. Because sometimes waiting is hard and everyone needs an afternoon nap with a kitten for a blanket, and sweet day dreams to refresh you again, ready for life.

About the artist

The inventor of the imagined 'obsessive creative disorder' Sarah Walker has creativity in her veins, and paints fruit symbolically, obsessively, and in a riot of colour, as a way to understand life, trauma, death, hope, and all the plethora of her human experience in between. Sarah Walker, an emerging artist from Toowoomba, creates deep, colourful, and quirky paintings to connect with people. Art has been a part of her life since childhood, helping her cope with trauma and express herself. Her still life works capture the beauty and impermanence of life, using vibrant colours to explore themes of life, death, trauma, and healing. She combines her original piano compositions with abstract paintings and integrates other creative disciplines like embroidery and collage. Influenced by Kandinsky, Dali, and Jeffrey Smart, Sarah breaks traditional colour theory rules to complement her symbolic pieces. She has been featured in major group exhibitions, has a solo exhibition, and won a “best in show” award at the Darling Downs mental health week exhibition.
