Sarah Jane Barry  

Sarah Barry is a mixed media artist who began her obsession working with painting during the pandemic. Pouring herself into her artwork gave a sense of purpose during a strange time. Painting for Sarah Barry is a meditative process. It is a break from the monotony of day-to-day life and a chance to relinquish control. “I let the movement of paint begin the story and use line work to complete the narrative. My artwork is fluid, ethereal, and playful.” Sarah’s inspiration stems from her love of Folk Art, dreams, and the softness and spontaneity of the natural world. https://sarahjanebarry.com/about
