ABOUT SARAH C - ARTIST & DESIGNER
Art and Design are my obsessions! I am an artist and graphic
designer based in Mangawhai Heads, Northland, New Zealand.
I have been painting, creating and designing throughout
my life and my work is in private collections both in New
Zealand as well as Spain, Canada, Britain and France. I
have also created public artworks, in the way of murals.
My Maori ancestry comes from the Coromandel and Ngati Porou
descent, however I spent my childhood and teenage years
in Mangawhai Heads, Northland. My mothers people travelled
from Newcastle in the early 1900's and settled in Northland.
Both the Coromandel and Northland regions have played a
large part in the inspiration of my artworks.
As New Zealanders, I think we are extremely lucky to be
surrounded by such magnificent beauty, beaches and bush.
As an artist, to be able to capture the essence of the landscape
or the feelings evoked from the landscape and draw it into
a specific space, whether out in the garden or into your
lounge or office, is the most rewarding of gifts.
I have recently returned to live in Mangawhai Heads along
with my partner Colin and our pet dog Belle. We have transformed
a 1970's roadside stall into a small gallery space which
customers are welcome to visit by appointment.

LIMITED, OPEN AND ARTISTS EDITION
All large Sarah C Corrugated Iron Artworks are of a Limited
Edition. This means that there will only ever be a set number
created. After that no more can be produced. On the back
of the panel is the authentic Sarah C signature and the
number. The number will be for example, 12/15. This means
it is piece number 12 out of 15 created. Sometimes I will
sign a piece A/E this stands for Artists Edition or artists
proof.
All other pieces in other mediums are Open Edition. This
means there is no limit to the amount produced. Sometimes
it may be only one or two, others may be more.
ORIGINAL SARAH C ARTWORKS
These are usually mastered using acrylic paints on board.
But occasionally Sarah will get right in there with varied
mediums. Anything from oils sticks, paint charcoal and even
the odd dash of concrete is used to create depth and texture
in her artworks. These are generally viewed and made for
sale very rarely and very privately. Original Sarah C artworks
are in the $1000's to buy.
Often in my work there is a constant striving for balance
between structure and chance. This theme arose for me especially
while studying at Unitec School of Design, graduating in 1998
with a Bachelor of Design specialising in Visual Communication.
This theme has grown over the years and after setting a career
in the graphic arts as a senior designer, seems to have blossomed
and grown stronger.
