Sarah Carrington

Sarah Carrington is a professional artist, based on the north coast of Ireland. Her work focuses on landscape and coastline, particularly of her surrounding area and of her homeland, Scotland. She paints using emulsion, oil, ink and a variety of mixed media, often incorporating gold leaf.

Sarah graduated in 1999 from the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art with an MA(Hons) in Fine Art. Following a hugely successful sell-out degree show, Sarah began as a full-time artist working in Edinburgh, creating landscape paintings and drawings. Since then, she has been exhibiting widely throughout the UK, including galleries in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Northern Ireland, throughout England, and carrying out numerous private and public commissions.

In 2009 Sarah moved to the north coast of Northern Ireland, where as a landscape painter the surrounding area constantly inspires and challenges her in her work. She enjoys exploring and experiencing the dramatic coastline in all seasons and weathers, which she expresses through paint and mixed media techniques in her paintings. Significance of place plays an important part in people’s lives, so portraying certain views and vistas of the beautiful scenery of this area can bring resonance to many.
