Having engaged subjects as diverse as family history, cultural demographics and travelled routes, her work constructs romantic recognisable imagery, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Often times these themes are combined into volumes of specific areas of thought. Her prolific area of practise for these volumes is in the Fine Art of Printmaking. This enables her to include the visual rawness of printmaking into the romanticism of her work.
Sarah Eva has spent twenty-one years growing and developing as an artist in the picturesque setting of Ballyrogan House. Having been exposed to so many wonderfully inspirational artists from all backgrounds; she couldn’t help but to be confident in exploring her own artistic qualities.
