Sarah Lord

‘Fragments of everyday life and intimate encounters with the environment, whether indoor or out, find their way into my images which hover around abstraction and surrealism. Often, such as here, a still-life form shifts its identity through subconscious associations and recall, or memories, of previous experiences which drive the making and final imagery.’

Sarah Lord studied at Canterbury College of Art and Gloucestershire College of Art (Cheltenham) gaining a BA (Hons) in Fine Art – Painting. She has exhibited widely throughout the South East and in London including the Cadogan Contemporary Summer Show, several years at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and the Royal Overseas League Annual Exhibition. Her work has been represented in The British Art Fair at the Royal College of Art and she has taken part in Battersea Art Fair.

The South East Arts Collection and Kent County Libraries and Museums Collection hold examples of Lord’s work.

Paddy Kitchen reporting for Country Life magazine on the RA Summer Exhibition 1992 found Sarah’s entry “poetic” and “rather beautiful“.

More recently, Sarah has exhibited in the NEAC Annual Exhibition, Mall Galleries, London, RA Summer Exhibition 2024, and open call shows at Linden Hall Studio, Deal, The Lido Stores, Margate, Irving Gallery, Oxford, Dover Road, Folkestone and Square, Dover.

We are delighted to have Sarah as part of our Contemporary Kent Artists exhibition at The Horsebridge Arts Gallery the 7th - 19th of October 2026.
