Hi, I’m Sarah.
If you’re here, you probably want to feel more confident about what you’re doing, not just follow tutorials and hope for the best.
I’m a wildlife artist, teacher, and author. My online courses have sold over 140,000 copies worldwide, and my teaching is known for its clear structure and practical approach, without guesswork.
This website is where you’ll find out about my face to face UK workshops and amazing retreats.
I am also really excited to share my NEW free webinar with you, which you can find out more about below. I hope you find this helpful and if you'd like to take this further, you can join my Expressive Pathway Programme.

FREE WEBINAR - 6 guiding principles to help you create confident art without the guesswork.!
A free, practical webinar for artists whose work feels haphazard, inconsistent, or unsure of its direction.
For a long time, my work felt hit and miss. What changed it wasn’t talent or more practice, but understanding a small number of core principles in the right order.
In this free webinar, I’ll walk you through the six things that transformed my own work and still underpin everything I teach today. They’re not techniques or step-by-step demos - they’re the foundations that bring clarity and confidence.
I’ve seen these same principles help lots of other artists too. Once people have a clearer framework, things tend to settle down and start to make sense. You can often see it in their work - it feels more confident, more considered, and less like they’re second-guessing every decision. Below are a few examples from artists who’ve used these guidelines in their own way, at different stages and with different subjects.
Towards the end of the session, I’ll also share a way I can help you take this further, for those who’d like more structure and support. There’s no pressure - it’s simply there if it’s useful.

If you’d like to take this further
If the webinar feels helpful and you’d like more structure, I’ve created the Expressive Pathway Programme to support you as you apply these ideas in your own work.
It’s a calm, step-by-step programme designed to take the guesswork out of learning and help your work feel clearer and more confident over time.
