| How
we translate what we see around us depends on the arts that have influenced
us, further, we must differentiate between looking and seeing. Only when
we see beauty does an object come into existance.
Surrounded by the ocean and wooded
acerage in her South Carolina home,
Sarah L. Lewis began at at an early
age exploring the elements of nature. Her move west came after college
and after extensive traveling around the globe.
She has continued to explore her
surroundings on canvas by paring down her vision to study the shapes and
colors around her.
Sarah's goal is to translate nature
through her painting in much the same manner as reading a book. She wants
the viewer to be completely engaged; to be allowed to drift away in time
- to make a space where there is freedom for the mind
to wander. . . to dream. . . to
remember.
Her imagery is conveyed in a variety
of media; oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas, stone and off-set lithography,
serigraphy, landscapes, seacsapes and wildlife.
