Sarah Ross Thompson

As a Fine Art Printmaker, Sarah specialises in hand-inked, original collagraph prints inspired by the Dorset landscape. Using carefully built collage blocks, her work combines the vibrant colours of oil-based printing inks with the textural qualities of the materials she uses.This combination produces a distinctive look that makes her work instantly recognisable.  Having experimented with a number of techniques she now works almost exclusively in this way, constantly alighting on new materials to experiment with such as chopped chives and oatmeal, as well as the more conventional string, kitchen salt and corrugated card.

Sarah’s ‘Textural Landscape’ series, explores the geographical variety of her home county, Dorset.  From hidden coves and rocky coastal paths to dense woodland and vast vistas overhung by massive skies, she finds it is a never ending wealth of inspiration.

Following a degree in English and Classics in London, Sarah returned to her first love, art, studying at Bournemouth College of Art and Design.  Her work was selected for the National Print Exhibition in 1997 at the Mall Galleries and the following year she held her first solo show in London.  Over the past few years she has exhibited regularly throughout the South including shows at Salisbury Playhouse, Sherborne House, Mariners Gallery, St. Ives, Acanthus Gallery, Wareham and Fisherton Mill, Salisbury as well as being a regular exhibitor at Wills Art Warehouse, in Putney.  Her work has been on display at the ‘Art on Paper’ fair at the Royal College of Art and the National Print Exhibition at the Mall Galleries as well as the Affordable Art Fairs in Battersea, Bristol and Amsterdam.
