Spotted this big chicken-of-the-woods (I think) on my walk yesterday. It’s finally been rainy enough to see some mushrooms! #FungiFriends 🌿 🍄📷

Working on this little face at the moment. This is not quite my smallest brush, but close. I keep saying I’m going to start working larger, but somehow, here I am again…

Perennation refers to a plant’s capacity to survive from season to season, particularly through winter or other adverse conditions, with the use of an underground storage element such as a bulb or tuber.

Thought I’d do a short intro. Hey. I’m Sarah. I paint & draw. I’m influenced by mythology, folklore, still life and vanitas, horror movies & seasonal celebrations. My work includes themes of time/mortality, transformation, and our relationship to nature. I’m weird. ✌️
