Sarah Youseman is a popular art tutor, demonstrator and painter working from her home studio in Northwest Kent.

Prior to the exhibition at the Ripley Arts Centre the work has been seen at the Royal Academy of Art, Watercolours and Drawings Fair, Westminster Gallery, Chelsea Art Society, Affordable Art Fair, Battersea and Francis Iles, Rochester to name a few. Paintings are in private collections around the world. Her work has been published by Medici.

Sarah works in a variety of media favouring textural mixed media techniques combined with the ethereal beauty of water colour. Subjects are very diverse ranging from animals, still life, landscapes and the human form but the common theme is beautiful colour, light and texture.

"My collection for the Ripley Arts Centre 2007 features landscape, life and still life in oil and acrylic celebrating colour and light to live with and love".
