Nestled in a studio above a coffee shop on the south coast of England, Kingston University graduate Sarah Maycock creates magic with paint brushes. At the heart of Sarah's paintings (and they have so much heart), is the way she captures a place, a moment, or the spirit of a person or animal, almost bottling something of their essence with each brush stroke. Sarah's career highlights to date include her painting of Liberty London for their luxury advent calendar; her whale paintings for the Natural History Museums' 'Beneath the Surface' exhibition; and her wonderful dog paintings for Angus Hyland's The Book of Dog. In fact, our four-legged friends are a constant source of inspiration in her work: her illustrations also feature in poetry anthologies The Book of Dog Poems and The Book of Cat Poems.
