Sarah’s early creative work was as a documentary filmmaker. Her films were essayist and innovative in approach and screened nationally and internationally.

In 2000 Sarah started to integrate her own acrylic paintings into her film work using a character Red Girl, who represents her inner emotional experience. Sarah has gone on to develop a body of self-portrait work that includes many appearances of Red Girl. Sarah describes her paintings and drawings as ‘psycho-geography’ where she plays with ideas of self and identity. Red Girl moves between the real and the imaginary, influenced by Sarah’s interest in fairy tales and myths. In 2013 she created an enhanced e-book : Re-enchantment: Ways to Interpret Fairy Tales. (available iTunes) Her current project is exploring women’s anger through a series of self-portraits as the female monsters of Greek myth.

Sarah has undertaken several artist residencies overseas: Beijing, China, 2011; Oaxaca, Mexico, 2013 and Tetouan, Morocco, 2015. Red Girl in Morocco is her artist book from that residency. (available Amazon)

Until 2013, Sarah was a Senior Lecturer in Media Arts at the University of Technology, Sydney. Sarah also works as a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Balmain.
