Sarah Vivian is known for her meticulousoly executed oil paintings of sacred land and seascapes in Cornwall. From her light and spacious Penwith studio in St Just; the UK's most South-Westerly town, sarah works to create her stunning compositions which can take many months to complete. Sarah writes of her working technique:

"For the paintings to have a strong visual, emotional & spiritual impact, I paint with meticulous detail & in a heightened and intensified manner. I love the qualities of oil paint, which enable me to build up complex layers of colour and texture, combining classic technical methods of “thin to fat & dark to light”, with Pre-Raphaelite painting techniques of layers of thin translucent glazes on a brilliant white ground."
