Sarah Beckett

Artist Bio

Anchored in the physical reality of my life, the work grows out of what stands before my eyes to span the distances between the pure abstraction of light and the vivid silences of scarlet, viridian, cerulean….

'Everywhere I turn I am breathing rain, drinking light/ on this island sailing between sea and sky/ The world leans towards me and I enter a house that stands in my heart/ perfumed with the green psalms of earth/ a blue calm arced over Bois Cano and birdsong..”.

My work in oils is predominantly lyrical, semi-abstract. I also develop collections that are figurative.

'The Pilgrimage of Rain' - these works are about the 'hidden' Trinidad, its dreaming rain- hazed hills and veiled horizons. 'Trinidad Rhapsody' : This was a collaboration with a composer where the music and the paintings sprang from a series of my poems about Trinidad. Destiny & Desire: This collection was a kind of folkloric Trini-Romance - focused on dancers, musicians & dream landscapes.
