Sarah Hanner Hopwood

As an artist I aspire to create original, emotive, and beautiful pieces of work to be cherished for years to come. 

My landscapes are imaginary and inspired by the expansive terrain of the Scottish Highlands and the hills and valleys of the border of England and Wales, which is my heritage. My landscapes often incorporate collage from books that have meaning to me, and I use these to inspire the titles of my work. I add marks using stitching, pencils or other mixed media.  

I am drawn to the natural world as inspiration across all my work, which also includes British wildlife, loose floral watercolours, painted paper collage and colourful graphic style painting. Not only is the natural world my inspiration, but it also has provided me with comfort and grounding throughout my life. I combine a contemporary approach honouring quiet elements of the earth, land and skies which existed long before us
