Sarah Brown

Not Far

I don't remember the first time I met Sarah. I should, but it's a long time ago. I also don't think it's important. What is important is the stuff in between. I have had the opportunity to watch Sarah’s artistic career develop from obscurity to fame. Many of her artworks now adorn the walls of Australian homes. Deep hues of red and blue, applied with pointillist precision, render stunning desert scenes. Towering ghost gums, spiky spinifex, waterholes and looming thunderclouds are brought to life. Those fortunate enough to have visited Central Australia can certainly relate to these desert scenes – the heat, the space, or the tease of a storm in the distance. Respected for her dedication in providing dialysis to remote communities, Sarah once mentioned painting for her was like ‘therapy’, that it is a way for her to ‘switch off’. Let's hope that Sarah continues to find the time to ‘switch off’.

The exhibition runs from 1 - 30 October
