Sarah McGrath: Feathered friends and treasured things

Sarah McGrath is an Australian artist specialising in oil painting and excelling in the style of contemporary realism, Sarah’s paintings have an almost photo like quality. 

Sarah lives and works in her studio in Mosman, Sydney and draws inspiration from the bird life on her daily walks in the national parks around the foreshore.

In her still life practice, Sarah is drawn to vintage tableware and fabrics as well as sentimental objects that draw on feelings of nostalgia, her inclusion of small birds and parrots in her paintings add a feeling of movement and curiosity that draws in the eye of the viewer.
