Life No.5
In grief and burnout, Sarah retreated alone to Rock in North Cornwall. In 2006 she showed a series of paintings based on her view out to sea repeated alongside her written daily emotional barometer diary - “Stepper Point Diaries”. This cathartic process gradually enabled her recovery. She then linked up with John O’ Carroll and his Padstow Contemporary Gallery (who founded Circle Contemporary in 2014).
Land and Seascapes were beginning to push to the front, with the occasional surfer crashing in.
“The Warning Beacon”.
Acrylic & oil on deep box canvas. 80 × 120 cm.

For the next twelve years she considered Cornwall her home, and focused on figurative and Land/Seascape pieces. Commissions sent her to Marbella, Lucca, London, Florida, Bermuda, Switzerland and Goa.
