Testimonials

“We had just moved from a Victorian gothic house into a brand new architect-designed home and therefore needed to completely rethink our artwork.  We had never invested in any serious art before, let alone anything modern and of a quality to match the high spec of our new house and were rather daunted by the prospect.  We saw some of Sara’s work in a local gallery and were immediately inspired by the depth, humanity and flair that leapt out from the paintings.  To our delight, the gallery put us in touch with Sara and she immediately offered to bring some of her work over to the house so that we could see it in situ.  When you meet Sara you immediately see not just her passion and enthusiasm for art, but also a real compassion for humanity.  Her enthusiasm and love of art are infectious and she takes great trouble to ensure that her works are shown to their best advantage in your home.  We bought original art from Sara’s portfolio and we also commissioned a work for a particular room.  We are delighted with everything that we have bought and every day we continue to take great pleasure in her art.  Thank you Sara!”

“Sara Sherwood supplied and created art for our offices in Canary Wharf with New Art Gallery. With a clear understanding of interior design Sara offered art placement advice and came to our offices with a variety of paintings in order to get feedback and select from. Working with a team of executives she was able to come up with solutions that everyone liked: both cityscapes and abstracts. Some of the works of art were on commission, she met the brief and delivered in a timely way.

Her paintings have been in our meeting rooms since January 2011 and are a constant source of inspiration and colour, evoking numerous comments from clients and employees. She captures London and other cities at their very best.

Her art is expressive, sophisticated and vibrant. The balance is perfect for an office environment and I am delighted we took the decision to purchase her art.”

“We commissioned Sara to paint a London cityscape and we have just received the finished work. Every time I walk in to the room I look at it and it makes me smile. People that have visited us all say “wow” when they see it the first time. The colours are beautiful, happy and vibrant, the buildings are fantastic and the reflection in the water is just amazing. It has been a true pleasure getting to know Sara. She is very professional, both as an artist and a business woman, and a genuinely nice person to work with.”

” ‘I Can Breathe’ is safe and sound in Docklands, and is without doubt an inspiration and breath of fresh life into my flat. The canvases are magnificent! Really vibrant and energetic – the colours, individually and collectively, work perfectly and there are so many fascinating individual elements – something new and different attracts my eye each time I look at them… I had to smile yesterday evening, as I almost had the sense of people looking out of some of the buildings gazing on me gazing at them.”

“I think Sara’s idea for a peace project is wonderful. There is too much blasphemy, caustic provocation and sniggering in the world already and all it does is weigh people down. To radiate peace and joy will add to the peace and joy in the world. There isn’t enough of it. Sara’s paintings are full of peace and joy and are very uplifting. Tell her I am right behind her and will be praying hard. I would love to see her painting of the St Patrick’s Breastplate prayer when it is finished. The other name for the prayer is “The Deer’s Cry”

“I hope you are well. I hope you remember me and the sky you drew for our house in Galicia, Spain. I wanted to let you know that it is beautiful and perfect. I see it now everyday, as we have left London and moved temporarily back to Spain. I could not have wished for a better piece of art. Thanks again.”

“Sara, we just wanted to say how absolutely over the moon we are with our painting! It is perfect, exactly what we had hoped for! We have dreamt of owning a piece of your work for so long that now it is hanging in our room we just cant stop looking at it! I cant think of any better way we could’ve used the money we received as wedding gifts – it is such a special piece and we will forever treasure it and all the happy memories it holds.

We feel very lucky to have met you. You made the whole process of commissioning a piece so personal and your desire to “do the best possible painting for us” shone through. So thank you – thank you for all the years we have ahead of us enjoying your painting and thank you for creating new dreams as we start to save for our next piece!!

I think – it was so lovely to watch our painting grow and evolve – even hung on the wall now we keep noticing new things about it, we just love it.”

“I fell in love with London on moving here six years ago and was always on the lookout for prints or paintings that reflected how I felt about it. Nothing seemed right until I came across Sara’s work at the Oxo Tower studios. Fortuitously Sara also happened upon my love of purple and in the selection she brought to show me and I came away with two. I love the depth of colour in her work and also how she manages to make you feel the light shine through. I smile each time I look at them.”

“Interfax contracted Sara Sherwood after seeing some of her work on display in Leadenhall Market. Our company had just moved offices and were embarking on a new high profile project and wanted something that would make the boardroom distinctive and unique but that was also cost effective!
We are an international company and had decided sort of on a portrayal of some of our major offices and seeing Sara’s London cityscapes thought we could both work from that.

Sara visited our offices and saw the boardroom and came up with a variety of ideas for us using her knowledge of colours, shapes etc to paint a triage of pictures for us of 3 of our office locations including our Moscow head office.

The finished work was done in an amazing time and looks absolutely splendid and has certainly ‘made’ our boardroom and I have to say working with Sara was a pleasure throughout.”

“We commissioned Sara because we liked her interpretation of cities brought about by her passion and a connection to London and in particular the energy and spirt that is captured in her artwork.”

“My dad, brother and I bought a painting from you when it was the London Southbank festival. Just wanted to say that we popped down to Barleylands last week and had a look at some of your work. It’s really fantastic and my sister and brother in law were equally impressed!

My brother was doing some work for a colleague in London a few weeks ago and recognised some of your paintings on his wall. Small world!

Anyway, just wanted to say keep up the good work. I am in the process of saving for my very own Sara Sherwood original!”

“Thank you so much for making my beautiful tiara, I absolutely love it. You designed to the perfect size, and to work wonderfully with my dress and my pearl necklace from my grandparents. It felt so special to be wearing something so beautiful, made especially for me. I received the most wonderful comments all day, and it really was the finishing touch to a perfect day. I’ll keep it forever, and treasure the memories always.”
