Sarah attended art classes in her community as a child. As a pure visionary, Sarah continued her interests in learning how to create through color, while studying under independent and accomplished artists.  As a long time Laguna Beach resident, she is one of the most popular landscape artists in the area.  California artists like Sarah are known the world over for their ability to capture the images of nature around us.
 

As one of the true California artists, Sarah's formal training began in 1976; her first exhibits were in college surroundings, and in 1998 she began to show her work in gallery settings, one- man shows, restaurants, and bed-and-breakfasts.  The diverse mediums with which Sarah works include acrylic on canvas, watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, and pressed wax.
 

A Treasure among California Artists
 

Traveling, sketching, and photographing in England, Ireland, the South of France, and local venues have inspired and enhanced Sarah's dynamic, vibrant work.  She expresses herself spontaneously and freely -- resulting in paintings that are translucent, whimsical, and passionate. Sarah's work is strong, yet it has an exquisite sense of feminine energy.  Her styles vary from impressionistic to contemporary.  Like other California artists, she is moved by the beauty around her.

Taking the images around her and interpreting them through the lens of imagination, Sarah vividly combines the colors around her, the angles of light, and the physical shapes absorbed by the senses, then distills them into something completely new.

From the moment of creation to the process of transferring thought to canvas, Sarah immerses herself in her paintings, using the traditions of her craft and her impressions of life around her. Calling beautiful and picture- perfect Laguna Beach home, she is one of many landscape artists who find nature's inspiration right outside her door.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or appreciating beautiful, original art for the first time, Sarah Cassidy’s interpretations of life, captured forever in true color … inspire.
