Sarah is a multi and interdisciplinary practising visual artist, educator and creative wellbeing facilitator, exploring the crossing of boundaries between one art form and another and how art/animation can be used to benefit health, wellbeing and communication without words. With a personal interest in Neurological diseases particularly epilepsy, Sarah explores how altered state of consciousness can be represented using experimental moving imagery.

Current projects include working with Arts University Bournemouth, as part of an international team developing a toolkit to gain impactful responses from art sessions with groups of vulnerable communities, Sarah’s focus was the TSC community.
