Artwork & Artist

Welcome to the artwork of Sarah Rintoul

This website presents a few examples of my artwork in three loose themes to reflect the interest and experience that inspired them:

  • Domestic, Farm & Wild
  • Garden, Art & Architecture
  • Endeavour, Leisure & Culture

What I encounter shapes the natural course and range of what I make. These moments can be from activities and events in life, or a sense of presence felt in places and artefacts. At times this has resulted in exhibitions, at other times my creative skills have been applied to projects that enhance a given setting or have assisted others with their own endeavour, leisure, or cultural pursuits. 

Living in the Shropshire Hills, I am surrounded by natural beauty of the countryside, farmland, gardens, historic architecture, market towns and a variety of places to visit, each with their related endeavour and own way of living. Currently I am developing features for a garden of 3/4 of an acre that is being restored and developed in stages.

Since 2003 my work often includes combining mosaic of natural stone tesserae with sculptural forms and architectural detail to create pieces that can be:

  • Wall hung – framed or unframed
  • Wall mounted
  • Free standing

I enjoy the nature and appeal of this work and how each piece is brought to life with light and shade.

In terms of formal education, I graduated in 1992 with a Batchelor of Fine Art from Leeds University. Prior to that I attended Cambridge College of Art and Technology to complete an Art Foundation Course.
