Sara grew up in Dublin. She attended the Froebel College and Trinity College where she graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree. On qualification, she emigrated to work with Native America Indians and taught at several locations in Western Canada. Some of the communities were quite remote. Many opportunities to paint and sketch people were available. She found the experience exciting and unique.

After this adventure, she returned home and taught children from the travelling community. During these years, she attended N.C.A.D. as an evening student, studied sculpture, life-drawing and portraiture. From there, she went to Mexico and studied art at Institute Allende, San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. This was a wonderful experience and the weather was conducive to painting out of doors. After this time in Mexico, she returned to Canada and got married. She spent many years there painting and raising her four children.
Ten years ago, she returned to Ireland and now lives in Galway, where she works as a full-time professional artist. She paints varied subject matter, landscape, interiors. Often figures form the focal matter of her compositions. She has a keen interest in portraiture and particularly enjoys painting children. She has exhibited her work countrywide, with two very successful solo shows in Galway in 2002 and 2004.
