Introducing painter Sarah Smalldon

Artist Statement

I am an artist and illustrator based in the fantastic city of Plymouth in sunny South Devon. I like to produce unashamedly cheerful art, guided intuitively by my love of bright colour, pattern and bold illustrative lines. I take my inspiration simply from the things that make me happy and look for the joy in the world around me each day, from a rosy bouquet of flowers to a tin of sardines. I want my work to spread smiles and positivity through my unconventional world of colour. I graduated from the Arts University Plymouth in 2011 with a first class honours degree in Fine Art. I was also very grateful to win the Ben Hartley award in the same year.
