From Your Head to Your Heart

EPISODE 2
What is it like growing up with a professional artist for a parent? What does love and art look like during a pandemic? How and when do you finally get to say, “I’m an artist”. If any of these topics resonate with you, you’ll love my guest today! I am interviewing Sarah Sedwick!
Sarah is a prolific painter of still life and portraits and an extraordinary oil painting instructor. Based in Eugene Oregon, Sarah’s oil paintings explore the simple beauty of everyday objects, and are most often inspired by color combinations and perceptual effects. All are painted from life. Her teaching philosophy is simple: the more you paint, the more yoU improve - so find ways to make painting as enjoyable as possible! Let go of perfectionism, and watch the results unfold.
In this conversation, Sarah shares all about love during a pandemic, the importance of teaching, growing up with a professional musician, and more! She discusses the moment she was able to call herself an “artist” and how happy she is to give out “artist” badges to anyone that wants one!




Sarah creates paintings daily inspired by the still life arrangements she creates in her home. These images are actual lessons from her most recent course - INTRODUCTION TO OIL PAINTING.
"The best way to get something from your head into your heart is to put it into words, systematize it a little, and then give it to somebody else."
