About Sarah

Sarah Gordon is a British artist and textile designer working from her coastal home studio on Bainbridge Island, WA. She is known for her curious, contemporary artwork that brings together botanicals, insects and birds with seaweed, coral and other natural elements. Her bold incorporation of contrasting colour and mark making is influenced by the simplicity of modern art combined with her love for quirky antique botanical illustrations creating a unique view into nature. 

Much of her inspiration comes from daily walks at local beaches and forests where she collects natural ‘treasures’ that become the start of new artwork ideas. Following the daily patterns of nature and seasonal changes she has become particularly drawn to natural imperfections and unnoticed details such as tangled stems or delicate markings and patterns from decay. 

Sarah has collaborated with Anthropologie to produce an exclusive 2023 home and clothing collection.

Recent features include Origin Magazine, Candyfloss Magazine, FLOW Magazine France, FLOW Magazine Germany and Côté Ouest Magazine.
