Sarah Wimperis is a story
teller, and in this her paintings portray the beauty and simplicity of a daily
life that others may just wander past. She delights in everyday scenes and
objects shown just as they are, captured with an immediacy that has them
documented before they disappear from view; delicately described capsules of
time and space, often peaceful and deserted.

Gardens are central to Sarah’s creativity and have always
been an intrinsic part of her life. Even today, the smell of creosote and garden
twine reminds her of her grandfather which, for Sarah, means ‘time travel is
only a garden shed away.’
The paintings of outdoor scenes have been inspired by
gardens great and small - from the historic Heligan to the stunning Trebah and
the little courtyard gardens of her friends captured, there and then, before the
moment passes. The exquisite spaces, shaped by their intimate connection to
creator, curators and of course Sarah herself, as the narrator.
Sarah Wimperis’ paintings of place are quiet and
evocative; these are works that invite you in; you want to be there at the
table, amidst the scented flowers, or at ease by the fire of that fabric-rich
room. These are paintings of the simple beauty that surrounds us - and yet often
we don’t stop to look.
This is a collection that is not to be missed. Come along
to the Evening Viewing at Beside The Wave on Friday 15th February at 6pm to experience these beautiful paintings
with a glass of wine and good company and of course the chance to meet the story
teller herself!
To
celebrate this show we have produced a limited edition book from Beside The Wave
including a selection of paintings from the show and accompanying studies and
words from Sarah. It can be purchased directly from our website, here’s a link -
