Sarah Lorrimer-Riley is a contemporary British artist whose work explores the quiet thresholds between the natural world and our internal landscapes. She paints in layered mixed media, building surfaces shaped by gesture, instinct, and atmosphere. Her abstract paintings often respond to seasonal cycles, shifting light and the subtle moments where change first begins to show itself.

​

Her practice is rooted in observation and intuition. Each piece evolves through adding, removing and reworking layers, revealing forms that feel both ancient and immediate. Colour becomes a way to hold emotion, movement, and memory, creating spaces that feel grounded, luminous, and slightly otherworldly. She is particularly drawn to liminal moments — places where the familiar gives way to something wider and where the divine feels close to the everyday.

​

Sarah has exhibited nationally, including at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, the River and Rowing Museum, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and the Royal Cambrian Academy. Her work is held in private collections across the UK and internationally.​

​

She works from her studio at the Coach House in Oxfordshire, where she continues to explore themes of light, myth and transformation through paint.
