This talented lady prefers to work with pastels and pastel pencils. She is most comfortable with the pastel medium because it allows her to layer colour and create detail quickly and effectively.
Sarajane Hinton was born at Kyabram in Victoria but she grew up in a small town on the mid north coast of New South Wales.
After completing her schooling, she moved to Newcastle to earn a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication) at the University of Newcastle. After she completed her university course, she moved with her husband to Bourke … where they met local gallery owner Jenny Greentree.
“Jenny encouraged me to continue with my art,” says Sarajane. “Now, after spending three years exploring the area around Bourke, we have moved again to live at Yamba on the New South Wales north coast.”
This pastellist is enthusiastic about animals and wildlife which she loves to use as subjects in her work. She loves to capture unique details of her subjects, and their expressions.
“Artistically I love detail … and how you can capture detail in different ways – through line, shape or colour,” she explains. “I love to study how other artists create detail in their works, even if the style is not super-realistic.”
