Sarah Gordon’s artistic process focuses on creating abstract impressions and sketches through
layers of acrylic paint and wax, applied with silicon and steel blades in a method inspired by oil encaustic painting.
She works on various surfaces, including canvas, board, and paper, infusing each
piece with texture and movement. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Coromandel coastline,
her work captures the tactile essence of the landscapes she cherishes.

This year, Sarah has focused on painting local coastal views as well as incorporating
memories from a six-week journey through Mexico. Her paintings aim to embody the spirit
of the towns and landscapes she experiences, blending them into layered, evocative artworks
that capture the soul and texture of much-loved coastlines.
