Sarah Ewing has been fascinated with drawing and painting from early childhood. At just three years of age, she presented her father with an accurate and fully 3D sketch of a pram. From that moment on, the die was cast. These days she is rarely to be found without a paint brush in her hand.

Sarah’s work draws inspiration from her rural surroundings, the flora, fauna and wildlife which she sees every day. She feels a deep connection to the landscape, tradition and folklore – which often find their way into her work.

Since 2015 Sarah Ewing has been working with award-winning UK rock band Big Big Train to create artwork for EP and album releases, as well as band logos, motifs and on-stage projections. She was awarded the accolade of Album Cover of The Year at the 2018 Progressive Music Awards. This was in recognition of the artwork she created for Big Big Train’s album, The Second Brightest Star.

Sarah’s work has appeared on ITV and Channel 4 television. Her work has been featured in publications from Mirror Group Newspapers and Future Publishing.

Sarah’s work is exhibited in galleries throughout the United Kingdom.

Sarah lives in a small cottage, nestled amongst the rolling hills of South Wales, close to the historic town of Monmouth. She shares her life with her partner, singer-songwriter and producer David Longdon, and a little old cat called Maurice.
