"…Soft pastel…pure pigment
and paint layers…It’s like everything around us. It’s like Seville itself.
Powdery walls. When you touch, you think the paint will come off on the tip of your finger
like talc…In the heat of the afternoon the street is a cool strip of stripes in the
fleshiest of tones…" |

Sara Genn
 Sara Genn was born in White
Rock, British Columbia in 1972. When she was 6 years old the National Gallery,
London, chose her painting for their children’s collection. She attended York House
School in Vancouver and graduated with the Art Prize and Provincial Art Scholarship.
In June 1994 Sara graduated from Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Sara is the daughter of Canadian artist Robert Genn.
Sara works mainly in oil and acrylic on
canvas, but has also worked in pastel, watercolour and print media. She started
exhibiting her work in her second year of university and has since exhibited in Western
Canada and won collectors in North America, Asia and Europe. Sara is currently represented
in Banff, Whistler, Calgary and Regina, as well as White Rock, Vancouver, Penticton and
Kelowna.
Sara is a developing, exploratory
artist. She is often experimenting with new techniques and likes to work in a
variety of subject matter – committed to her investigations of colour, reduced themes
and strong design. Sara’s work is always changing, but a common theme runs through
all of her imaginings – a love of colour and its relationships and a tenacious
repetition of motifs. Her work finds its roots in a childhood of cartooning, an
imagination for stories and a passion for colour invention.

In the winter of 1997 Sara completed a

Jr. and Marty Zajac Memorial Building in Burnaby, B.C. Her work is included in corporate
collections including Crown Life Insurance, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canuck House, Vancouver,
B.C., Peace Arch Memorial Hospital, White Rock, B.C and the Surrey Cancer Clinic,
Surrey, B.C. Sara’s work has also been included in a book published by Assiniboia
Galleries featuring ninety-five Canadian artists entitled Treasured Moments.
In the Autumn of 1997 Sara was featured on Canadian Living Television as an
up-and-coming Canadian artist. In October of 1999 Sara returned from a year of living and
traveling Western Europe with her partner, Richard Thompson. Together Sara and Richard
have written and published their illustrated travel journal Saraphina Mosey. |
