About the work

A vibrant still life with a whimsical playful feeling celebrating the Australian countryside. The foreground features an abundant bouquet of colourful poppies in reds and yellows contrasted against a deep blue vase and an egg in a red cup on a wooden window sill. Outside the window a couple of quirky cows and egrets have a moment amongst the rolling green pastures and bright cloudy blue sky.

About the artist

Sarah Campbell is a Canadian-born artist based in Australia, whose work is a vibrant reflection of her lifelong passion for painting. With a background in illustration and graphic design, she has developed a distinctive style that prioritises expression over precision, capturing the energy of her subjects with raw, dynamic brush work and a bold use of colour. Sarah’s creative process is fast-paced and intuitive, often layering different materials to build texture and depth. Inspired by nature, the human condition, and the beauty of everyday moments, Sarah’s work is an exploration of both the external world and the internal experience. She enjoys scratching back into her layers of paint, uncovering new textures and forms that reveal hidden dimensions. Through this process, Sarah creates works that are not only visually striking but also rich in emotional resonance. Her approach is a celebration of the imperfect and the fleeting, capturing the essence of life in all its complexity and vibrancy.
