Sarah Graham




            Sarah Graham is an incredibly young artist, in my opinion, making a full time job out of her talent at the age of 30 years old. She paints mainly sweets and toys with a highly saturated color palette. Her paintings sell at about 10,000 Euros. They have been displayed all over the world in Africa, Europe and Asia. She received a BA of Fine Arts. Her influence in her style today comes from Pop Art, especially Andy Warhol. She now resides in the UK.
            Graham describes her art as attempting to bring life into a photograph. She uses her own photos, which she is very particular about because she wants to make sure the lighting, drama, balance, and colors are to her liking. Afterwards, she sketches the painting onto the canvas with yellow oil paint.
