Sara completed an associate diploma of fine arts in 1995. She has exhibited in group and solo shows every year since 1997 in the Yass, Canberra and South Coast region, including her 2024 show at Tyger - At Home With.
In the past two years she has undertaken many commissions and her work is held in private collections in Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, America and the UK.
Sara has been consumed with drawing in the company of a dog since she was a child. That obsession has only intensified.
Sara is endlessly inspired by capturing and illuminating daily life - her dog asleep in the morning sun, objects on a shelf, her now adult children absorbed in a task. It is a collection of these moments that Sara wants to remember.
Sara’s sketch book is most often the starting point for her paintings - drawing is the basis of her practice. Sara paints in oil, onto board and is increasingly interested in the application of paint – how it suggests line, light and form.

“This painting is a loose collection of memories and feelings of the lake.”
“It has been a constant touchstone my whole life. Places hold our stories, this place more than any other holds mine.”
Sara Phemister, 2025.
