Biography:




Sarah was born in England, and spent many years traveling throughout Australia, Territories of Papua and New Guinea, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Middle East, many European countries, and the United States, while conducting a successful career in airline travel and business. During this time, she also pursued her passion for art.



In 1985 Sarah began formal studies in Germany as an apprentice to a renowned “Alt Meister” learning and practicing the techniques of the Old Master Painters. She spent over 4 years studying and practicing these methods and subsequently worked assisting the Master and helping newer students. She won the distinction of being the top student in the atelier for 1987 and 1988. Sarah still finds inspiration in the study of the Old Master works.



Sarah won the nationwide “Call for Artists” by Denver State, to paint the official portraits of President Barack H. Obama (presented 2011), and President Donald J. Trump (presented 2019). Both of these official portraits are on permanent display the Gallery of Presidents, Rotunda, in the Denver State Capitol building.



Sarah has exhibited much art throughout her travels, both commissioned and non-commissioned work. Subjects have come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including 5 Presidential portraits, a District Court Judge, and numerous distinguished members of the U.S. Military.



Sarah has always been passionate about painting portraits, being particularly intrigued by the depth and character found deeper in her subjects. Sarah believes that the ultimate challenge is to capture the “personality, character and soul” of an individual in a two-dimensional format. She uses a combination of realism and painterly aspects designed to draw the viewer into piece.



Sarah employs models who are carefully chosen for their enigmatic personality and uniqueness and admits that some of her favorite subjects are “wonderfully ordinary people” whose faces show the tracks of real life.



Sarah now works from her studio in Colorado Springs where she lives with her husband.


Having her do it because she did such a great job with Obama sounds exactly CO R Dumb.

The Hate of Trump has been very strong in CO....do'nt forget that part.
I have heard that CO is full of Democrat ass-holes. Why is that? I mean, why did so many American cretins decide to congregate in this state ? The surrounding states are relatively normal, politically speaking ?

When you look at the Obama next to the Trump you see a lot more from the neck down on Trump, and that makes the face smaller, the vantage point is further way....another way Trump was diminished.

Remember that they were going to throw Trump off the ballot, I think they were the first....till SCOTUS told them no.
 
The lack of animation of the face, like he is autistic or has down syndrome or something...that is how he was made to look dumb.

It is completely cold, without emotion or passion.
 
Look at the Obama next to the Trump... the eyes.

That is a very poor painting of TRUMP. It doesn't manage to accurately capture even the tiniest aspect of his characteristically vivacious/formidable physiognomy. The artist makes Trump look like an enervated, lacklustre administrative "stuffed shirt." Worse still, IMO, it makes Trump look like a wimp ( a wimp like, "Cry-Baby Kinsinger" or Jimmy Carter !) And Trump is absolutely NOT a wimp. Whoever painted this abominable portrait of Trump should be publicly excoriated by America's foremost, authoritative art critics.

Ya I am sure I am right, but paintings are not remotely in my skill set, nor is any other art other than cooking...I cant very well explain exactly what the artist did to get this result.
 
There is no way that Trump is wrong either....he has spent his whole life becoming one of the best ever at reading people, sizing them up....for the same reason he does this he knows a bad portrait when he sees one.

But you DO know that the result is shit, Right Hawkeye? I mean, you DO KNOW that this portrait doesn't capture one single atom of Trump's true personality - I mean, what the real-life person Donald Trump is like when you see him (on Tellie, etc.)
