When I paint my intention and hope is to remind us of people with whom we walk and have walked - of people we love and have shared memory with. They are windows to the outside which connect our souls, our memories and our love for people who are or who have been precious to us. This is a view that I love in Arlington, Sussex - such a majestic sight seeing the grandeur of the trees and Bluebells as far as the eye carries you.

Sarah Ollerenshaw is an artist with a background in fine art restoration. She studied Spanish and History of Art at Birmingham University and then took a postgraduate diploma at Christie's Education which in turn led to an apprenticeship in restoration and conservation. Throughout her studies and restoration work she has always painted and is largely self - taught. Despite her love for restoration it became clear that her passion for paint was moving in to a more personal direction and Sarah welcomed the gradual shift of being able to spend more time in her Wimbledon studio. Whilst concentrating on her own art she also embraced a two-year stint as artist in residence at Kensington Prep where she devised and taught history of art related projects to the children. She now paints full time and is a mother to two wonderful children.
