Sara Purves

Artist member since 2022
Toronto, ON

Sara Purves is an artist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She was a fine art major at the Claude Watson School of the Arts and later graduated from Environmental Design program at the Ontario College of Art. In 2018, after about 20 years of working as a graphic designer, Sara picked up the paintbrush again. Sara has created and sold hundreds of works or art now in homes across the country. Her beautiful art as well as her honest, motivational, and humorous posts on Instagram have amassed her a large dedicated social following. Her customers regularly describe her work as making them feel good. Sara’s use of bright vivid colours invites warmth and happiness to the viewer. Her abstract work is youthful and contemporary.

β€œI need to paint. I just have to create. I enjoy the solitude, the release, the happiness and the renewal of energy that it brings me. I need the beautiful colours, the textures and the satisfaction of creating something out of nothing. The finished piece is all of this experience brought to life.”
