“Color and contrast are my catalysts,” says Sarah Pollock. “I believe that my job as an artist is to celebrate our world and show it to you ‘one louder,’ just a little bolder to highlight the beauty that surrounds us in our everyday lives.
“As a representational painter who specializes in landscapes and cityscapes, ‘place’ has a tremendous influence upon my artwork. I see subtle differences in light from different locations. I also enjoy learning about the history and unique attributes of where I live because I use these details as sources of inspiration, and to impart interesting tidbits to my viewers about my subjects.
“All of my paintings are based upon an actual moment or place that I witnessed. I don't stage or fabricate my subjects. To me, the challenge and gratification of being an artist lie in sharing the authentic beauty of our world. Sometimes, this is a fleeting effect of light across the countryside, other times it's a story that I see within a person surrounded by the city. There's magic everywhere, if we just keep an open mind and open eyes.”
The best gift I received was a set of professional quality watercolors and drawing pencils that my Dad gave to me when I was in the first grade. That gift validated my interest in art, and made me feel like I was professionally equipped to start making great art, vaulting me beyond the Crayola crayons that my classmates had.
My backyard garden. Not because I'm some amazing gardener (I'm not, there are weeds everywhere.), but because it puts nature at my fingertips.
"In Between the Dark and the Light"
This is an excerpted lyric from an old song by The Eagles and it perfectly described a Chicago cityscape that I created. I'm like to listen to a wide variety of music while I paint. Little snippets of song lyrics often become painting titles.
