Sarah Atkinson
Born in High Point, North Carolina in 1980, Sarah Atkinson
grew up in a rural farming community. Surrounded by the
beauty of nature and secluded by land, she developed a
love for painting at a very young age. Her father, also an
artist, encouraged her to pursue her passion. She spent
much of her childhood in his studio painting at his side.
Sarah went on to study fine arts at the University of North
Carolina Greensboro. Here she developed a deep interest in
figural studies and began to cultivate her contextual style
of painting.
After college, she met and married another painter, Patrick
Atkinson and then relocated to Charlotte North Carolina.
During this time, Sarah was able to spend time
experimenting and refined her approach to painting
through new mediums and unconventional materials. She
and her husband now share a studio in Charlotte where
they live with their 2 children.
Sarah's ability to capture a timeless and seductive movement
in her paintings is offset against an organic, often abstract
backdrop. Amidst a sea of tar and beeswax, the pieces, in
their final state, stand as elegant, yet bittersweet works
that express an emotion of their own. Sarah Atkinson’s
works are held in private collections throughout the United
States, as well as internationally.
