Sarah Allbrook Exhibiting at St Barnabas Press on Coldham’s Road (first and second weekends of July), Sarah Allbrook

Pay a visit to Sarah’s workspace and get a glimpse into a working studio packed not just with her art, but also the materials and equipment she uses. St Barnabas Press is a space shared by multiple artists, so alongside Sarah’s artwork, visitors will be able to explore paintings, prints, ceramics and cards by a variety of creators all under one roof. “I’m excited to be taking part in Open Studios because it’s a great opportunity to give people an insight into my creative world and see all the paintings I’ve been producing throughout the year,” she comments. “Being there in person to talk about the work is an experience the viewers wouldn’t get in a gallery, and I love to meet people who are interested in looking at art.”

creates beautiful, impressionist-style oil paintings, often of our local landscape. She mostly paints outdoors, directly in front of her subject, and can be found with her easel and paintbrush year round, come rain, shine or snow. “I am really inspired by the landscape around me – particularly along the river in Cambridge and the Fens – and I love painting at the coast in Norfolk and Suffolk when I can,” she explains. “I try to capture Cambridge during different times of the year to reflect the changing seasons, and throughout the day, as the light changes from morning sunshine to sunset and into the night.”
