MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS
   | Sarah Faulkner seeks to capture in her work, the important relationships we have with trees, flowers, animals and all things in the natural world. These relationships offer a sense of peace, grounding and calm which is so essential to the quality of one’s life. Growth is reflected consistently throughout her work. She experiments with different materials in order to capture the mysterious and atmospheric qualities found in nature. Most recently, she as been working with beeswax to add depth to her paintings. This translucent and misty material blends and softens the colors to give the work an element of light. Sarah’s original work is represented at NorthLight Studios and a number of galleries in and around Asheville, NC. Her paintings are widely collected, by many, including former Governor of North Carolina, Bev Perdue. She has also recently been given the honor of creating a collection of paintings for the US visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This collection focuses on the practice of Cognitively-Based Compassion Meditation, which includes eight elements; Mindfulness, Understanding, SelfCompassion, Impartiality / Equanimity, Gratitude / Interdependence, Affection, Aspiring Compassion and Engaged Compassion. Sarah currently lives in Weaverville, NC. The beauty and peace, found in the North Carolina Mountains is reflected throughout her work. |
