SARAH GRAHAM
SARAH GRAHAM – Sarah Graham is a renowned hyper-realist painter, celebrated for her ability to create vibrant and lifelike still-life paintings that captivate the viewer with their extraordinary detail. Her work is a bold exploration of colour, and she masterfully captures an elusive sense of joy in her subjects. Often inspired by childhood imagery, Sarah’s paintings feature playful themes such as sweets, toys, and nostalgic objects that evoke wonder and a sense of innocence.
Sarah's art is widely recognized, with her pieces housed in private collections worldwide. Notable commissions include an album cover for the British band Kaiser Chiefs and artworks for prominent institutions like Standard Chartered Bank. Her contributions to art extend beyond galleries; her work has been included in educational curricula, highlighting its influence and relevance. In 2022, she gained further visibility by serving as a guest judge on CBBC's "Britain’s Best Young Artist," where she helped guide and inspire the next generation of young creatives.
In addition to her artistic achievements, Sarah is a dedicated mental health advocate. With a personal history of bipolar disorder, she courageously shares her experiences to inspire hope and raise awareness about mental health issues. In 2023, she launched the "Samarivans" project, a charitable initiative to support the mental health organization Samaritans. The project culminated in a highly successful auction, raising £43,500, and earned Sarah the prestigious Points of Light award from the Prime Minister in January 2024, in recognition of her efforts to make a positive impact through both her art and advocacy.
