I'm so excited to announce that I am expanding my business to host fun art classes! Over the years I have been asked a lot weather I would teach a class and I said "No but I wish I could" I have always kept this idea in mind and now I'm very happy to be able to share my passion for art with the community. I will be partnering with local venues to host fun art classes. I will provide all art supplies needed and the venue will offer the beverages and food and of coarse a wonderful atmosphere! If you are interested in a private party we can make arrangements for that as well. I'm currently looking for interesting places to have these parties if you know of somewhere that would make a great place please let me know. I hope to see you at one of my upcoming parties! Let's Paint Together! Sarah Barnes

Inspiration

I have done some training with Steve Wiltshire and he is a awesome motivator and life coach! These are a couple of quotes he posted. Push through the uncomfortable to find your joy and learn something new.

Sunflower Fiesta



Sunflower Fiesta, Acrylic on canvas, 20x24,  

I completed this new painting.  Out of everything I have ever painted I have never painted sunflowers before.  I had fun and plan on doing others. Enjoy!


This is the finished painting. I made some changes. Now it is a mixed media piece. It just needed something:)$150

That is how I feel when painting even a simple pear. As an artist I have to deeply examine the shape, color, shadows, textures and how the light falls on the object and how everything around it relates to this shape. I have a job that heightens my awareness of God's simple gifts. For me the act of painting is a prayer.

Artist Statment

I'm passionate about the idea of creating something from scratch. Using raw materials such as paint, fabric, clay, paper, food ect, and turning those materials into something beautiful functional, or even playful.
I have always been acutly observant of the world around me, espesially nature. As a child I would escape into the woods behind my house and examine everything. I still love to do that!
As a artist I get to capture the world as I see it. My work continues to be a journey of letting myself go and letting to divine flow thru my brush to capture the subject of my work.
I have been given a gift and feel priveleged everyday to paint the experiences I encounter in life, as a artist, mother, explorer, and woman.
I hope you will take time to ponder and take pleasure in the landscapes, still lives, and murals in my porfolio and gallery pages.
I founded my buisness Mural Inspirations because of my passion to create. I put the word inspiration in the title of my buisness because creating paintings or murals is truly inspiring to me and I hope for those who view my work. I also want to promote other artists and to promote art in general in my community.
I learned how to create from my Mom. She is definitaly a do it yourselfer. I grew up watching her tackle all sorts of creative projects. She is a self tought artist from a little town in Wisconson. She has been painting for 50yrs and still going strong. She continues to sell her work all over the country and in our local community. She is definitaly an inspiration and so is her work.
I will continue to paint and create as long as I can too. I hope as long as my Mom.
