Artist's Practice:

Sarah L Goy MA, (Dis) 

​

​

Sarah initially studied Fine Art and then Natural History Illustration, but ended up working in Finance for 20 years, she continued to paint and draw along side her day job until finally taking the leap to become a full time artist in 2017. 

Her focus has always been on emotions, nature and her environment, with a specialisation in drawing and painting from life. Inspired by her travels she aims to capture every day moments in her sketch books, which are the foundations for all her other works.

​

Although taking an analogue and tactile approach to her practice Sarah has become interested in  the possibilities and potential of technology, experimental animation and the moving image and how they might be used beyond pure entertainment. This became part of her post graduate research in 2021 and continues to be the core of her research interest.

​

Sarah is a visiting lecturer at Arts University Bournemouth ( AUB) - BA and MA animation.

Visiting lecturer teaching short courses with a specialism in Sketching, Water colour, and Experimental art.

​

Sarah runs an Art Club for Adults at Southampton Art Gallery with the emphasis being on 'wellbeing' and ' art for all'. Encouraging students to enjoy the process of creating and getting in touch with their inner child.

​

Since 2017 Sarah also creates and runs online art therapy styled creative sessions, again, encouraging a sense of play through which new skills are gained, whilst encouraging a sense of community and inclusivity.
