Sara Phemister is a painter living and working on Ngunnawal Country.

Sara has exhibited extensively over the last 28 years, predominately in the Canberra, Southern Tablelands and South Coast areas.

"I am endlessly inspired by capturing and illuminating daily life. My dog asleep in the morning sun, my now adult children absorbed in a task, and the shifting landscape around me. It is a collection of these moments that I want to remember."

"Drawing is the basis for my practice. I paint in oil onto board and am increasingly interested in how the application of paint suggests line and form and becomes a language to tell our stories."

Sara is not only an exceptional artist, but one of our absolute favourite human beings, and has been inspirational in the creation of Tyger Gallery.

Her work of oil on board casts a magical eye on everyday scenes, highlighting the details that turn a house into a home, or a moment into a memory. They are warm, welcoming, and washed in light and love. They frequently feature her muse, the very excellent labrador BeppO (also Tyger’s CEO - Chief Enthusiasm Officer).

Sara’s beautiful work is highly sought after, and held in private collections all the way from Yass to the USA.

"The South Coast is so beautiful to me. It's not that faraway but the way the chemistry in my body changes when I am there is something I always long to bring home with me."
