Sarah Jane Palmer is a multi disciplinary artist and educator with an interest in sculpture, geometry, pattern, visual perception and storytelling. Inspired by the unexpected, visual hallucinations, dreams and historical archives; from the historical Nottingham lace trade to the romance of the circus, her sculpture, installations, film, prints and textiles draw from her practice which often comes with a bit of an unexpected twist.
Sarah has a depth of experience within many fields of making accumulated over the last 20 years including; sculpture, installation art, film, animation, prop making, theatrical mask making, designing hand printing wallpapers and wall-art. In 2004 she graduated with a BA (hons) Fine Art Degree in Painting and Printmaking, and in 2013 received a Masters Degree in Fine Art with distinction.
Sarah is a freelance artist educator at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Hepworth Gallery.
