SARAH VENABLE Sarah drew and painted throughout a childhood of travelling the globe. Later she studied fine arts at Wheaton College in USA, while attaining a “more practical� BA in sociology and psychology. Apart from sketching, she then reluctantly put visual art aside for 18 years of the New York City rat race. In 1992, a move to the Caribbean provided the opportunity to paint again, starting with village neighbours and beach scenes in Anguilla. First used as barter for lobsters, her portraits then began to be commissioned. She moved to Barbados in 1995 and continued this personal renaissance, adding abstracts, landscapes and whimsy to her repertoire. Her paintings have travelled home with purchasers from Australia, Europe and North America, while some remains in the region. Sarah also teaches art to children and creative writing to college students. She is also a frequent contributor to regional magazines and websites, and is a published poet. 2 Chelsea Gardens, Chelsea Road, St. Michael, BB 14022 (246) 435 3563 M (246) 830 8904 saravie@caribnet.net
