Sarah Gillard was born in Pembury, Kent (United Kingdom) and studied Art & Design at Banbury College before graduating from Middlesex Polytechnic in 1983 in Constructed Textiles.<br />
<br />
Inspired throughout her life by colour and, having worked for both The Conran Shop and Nina Campbell, her first break was in 1989 when she joined the Liberty Design Studio. An invaluable experience, she spent most of her time working mainly as a colourist for the entire fashion range of fabrics and scarves.<br />
<br />
It was during this time that she began painting, which led to her first exhibition in 1993 at the Lyric Theatre in London. Since then she has been working full-time on private commissions and other freelance work. Recently her work has been published into greeting cards, posters, calendars and limited edition-prints, sold world-wide.
