Artists Biography
Sarah Corner
Born in Surrey, England in 1964, Sarah Corner grew up with a passion for painting and the natural world. After leaving school she first worked on the restoration of painted and gilded Antiques and Oriental Lacquer, including pieces for the V&A and Science Museums and the Palace of Westminster.
After moving to the countryside of Dorset, she ran her own decorative and applied arts business for approximately 14 years. Throughout all this time she kept up with her interests in nature and wildlife and as her knowledge grew she began to produce beautifully detailed wildlife paintings, until she reached the decision to concentrate solely on her paintings.
Moving to Tipperary in 2001 she was greatly inspired by the landscape and her recent work reflects this. A residency at the Cill Rialaig Artists Retreat in 2004 introduced her to the stunning coast of Kerry and then the lakes and mountains of Killarney National Park, a most breathtaking and wildlife rich place.
