Sarah Sedwick

"One of the greatest things in the world is to train ourselves to see beauty in the commonplace." - Charles Hawthorne

Sarah Sedwick is an oil painter whose still lifes celebrate the beauty of the everyday, inspired by color combinations and dynamic composition. Her paintings explore the undercurrents of meaning we impart to the objects around us - whether through a system of personal emotional symbolism or a buildup of familiarity over time.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Sarah has lived in Eugene, Oregon since 2007. In 2001, she earned a BFA from The Maryland Institute, College of Art.

A passionate teacher, she conducts workshops on still life painting in oils, as well as an Online Art Mentorship program, working intensively with students all over the world. She is the author of the book Dynamic Still Life for Artists, coming in November 2022, and available now for preorder online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
