Through a lifetime of sculpting wildlife she has developed an intimate understanding and connection to each one of her subjects, and you can see this come across in her work. Sarah’s attention and ability to achieve fine detail and texture in her work are striking. Perhaps most notably, her mastery of patinas make her bronze work some of the most colourful and vibrant in a space. Achieving each colour is a refined part of the artform, as what you see in the final product is an intricate play between a multitude of chemicals and the reactive nature of the raw bronze. The oxidation process brings out all of the different colours you see in a finished work, which will be sealed in with a wax finish. Sarah’s wild dog series captures this beautifully; each wild dog piece has four interwoven chemicals that bring out the bronze colouring and helps her art to achieve its lifelike mimcry. Sarah has previously worked with the Wildlands Conservation group as well as the WESSA Umgeni Reserve.
