Sarah Williamson

The illus­tra­tion and paint­ings of Sarah Williamson are sim­ply won­der­ful, uti­liz­ing a few dif­fer­ent tech­niques to bring forth her visu­al lan­guage. There is a major empha­sis on the free­dom of media (as she paints with wet-on-wet) and a love the fig­ure and land­scape. Inspired by what’s around her, the Brook­lynite writes: 

I used to work, but one day I picked up a pen and images came, I began to see all of the dreams the decay and the excess around me. Around all of us. I once read in a very famous book, “All things are full of labor, man can­not utter it…” But I don’t think of what I do now as labor. My work feels like a nat­ur­al prod­uct of curios­i­ty about our sur­round­ings: peo­ple and things dis­in­te­grat­ing, dream­ing, liv­ing, not liv­ing. The world is full of col­or, I can­not utter.
