Her work is derived from sensation and nostalgia with long memories of working outside on her father’s farm in all weathers but particularly the long hot summer days.

She has painted in Snowdonia and the South Hams and Yorkshire having long standing links with the areas.

While Sasha attended art colleges in beautiful Salisbury and Cheltenham in England, it was at a time when conceptual and non-figurative art predominated but the history of art was taught and became a lifelong interest. She is mostly self-taught.

Starting to paint later in life exploring the landscape and learning the first steps has been quite a revelation with artists closely linked on social media, through workshops and regional ateliers proving that it’s never too late to make a start or pick up from where you last had to put painting on hold and follow another career path.

The work gathered here is a small sample of many ‘starts’ from nature en plein air or in a small studio at home.
