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

Sara has exhibited extensively over the last 28 years, predominantly 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 on to board and am increasingly interested in how the application of paint suggests line and form and becomes a language to tell our stories."

“All my life I have loved this lake. When our daughter was born, it was the first place we took her. So many picnics and walks and dog swims. It is the backdrop of my childhood and my children’s childhoods.”
