Sarah moved to Leicester in 1993. Her linocuts are created between her home studio and the Leicester Print Workshop in the Cultural Quarter.
Her inspiration comes from the world around her – the allotments, the garden and of course the ever changing city where her home is. Over the last 15 years she has created a series of linocuts of significant, interesting and beautiful Leicester buildings which is ongoing and ever growing and informed by a culture of pedestrianism – observing, experiencing and interacting with the city environment while walking about daily life.

Leicester is one of the oldest cities in England, with a history going back at least two millennia, including being occupied by the Romans for more than 400 years.
As such the city has a wide variety of architectural styles. The range of artworks you see featured here show a cross-section of some of the most iconic city centre buildings.
From The Corn Exchange to the Co-Op’s Wheatsheaf Works, and the former Fenwick’s Shopping Centre to Leicester Cathedral, the historical architecture of Leicester is as diverse as its people.
