ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Mixed Media
• Painting
• Photography

Sarah Malone is an Australian artist and Visual Arts educator living in the Southwest region of Western Australia. Her work is expressionistic and notably recognisable. She works in an intuitive style often using fluid processes and techniques. This approach allows her to create intricately layered abstracts that depict the raw beauty of the Australian landscape.

Sarah is a multi-disciplined artist with a refined practice in painting and photography. She is inspired by the inexhaustible beauty of Western Australia. Sarah’s work originates from observational and intuitive drawing, mark-making, memory and images she captures photographically by drone. This results in artworks that are inquisitive and reflective, exploring delicate layers of texture and colour to create a sense of movement and space.

Sarah, also a Yoga and Meditation Teacher describes the process of painting to be cathartic and meditative. She uses the creative process of developing her work as a positive outlet, summarising the creation of art to bring a sense of calm, clarity and connectedness to each day. She hopes to share this experience with her students and fellow artists who attend her workshops.

Sarah is an abstract artist whose work is intuitive, expressive and notably recognisable for its intricate layers that depict the raw beauty of the Australian landscape.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

My studio is located upstairs above the reception of Sama Wellness Studio. The mezzanine is expansive and affords me the opportunity to work on large scale works. White walls are adorned with my work.

Visitors can expect to find me working on smaller scale artworks during their visit.

Easily accessible with use of maps. My studio shares a frontage, parking and access with Sama Wellness Studio on Commonage Road, opposite Toby's Inlet Estate.
