A local Wicklow visual artist is gearing up for her first solo exhibition which invites audiences to find beauty in the unexpected and to appreciate the delicate balance between nature and the human experience.
Sarah Randle's work intertwines the wonders of the natural world with the captivating narratives found in film, books, life and the limitless realms of her imagination. She lives in Wicklow town and often explores nearby forests, woodlands and gardens which serve as both a sanctuary and an inspiration towards her work.
Speaking about her upcoming 'A Visual Awakening' exhibition, Sarah said: 'I have been involved in different group exhibitions before but this will be my first solo exhibition, which I am very excited about.'
Graduating with an Honours degree in fine art painting from the National College of Art and Design, Sarah honed her skills in various media, including oil, acrylic and ink.
'My creative process is deeply influenced by nostalgia, cinematography and world events,' said Sarah. 'I seek to capture fleeting moments of beauty and emotion, transforming them into vibrant and atmospheric visual experiences that resonate with viewers.
"I believe that beauty exists not only in grand landscapes but also in the subtle details of everyday life, prompting me to explore themes of connection, memory and the passage of time, while also using my art as a platform to advocate for the preservation of our planet's beauty.'
'A Visual Awakening' exhibition launches in Wicklow Library on Tuesday, June 3, at 7pm and then continues until Monday, June 30.
