This month's Artist, Sarah Spencer.

At Port Macquarie Art Hub

Sarah Spencer is a Lake Cathie-based artist whose bold, expressive watercolours and ink works capture the beauty and rhythm of coastal life. Inspired by the ever-changing landscapes of the Hastings region, her paintings reflect a deep connection to nature and the freedom of life by the water. Originally from the south of England, Sarah painted and exhibited in Sydney before returning to her art with renewed passion after raising her family. Her intuitive, playful approach brings a sense of movement and emotion to each piece, celebrating colour, light, and the essence of place.
