Sarah Goudie

Sarah is a visual artist and creative practitioner. She works with intimate and contemplative making practices; the space of drawing being a consistent focus.
A fascination with issues of beauty and injury, compassionate touch and witnessing are central to making and research. These are examined over long periods of time within bodies of work and through co-enquiries with fellow artists.
A multi-disciplinary practice involves installation, drawing, object making, film, spoken word and writing. Creating a poetic of biography sits deeply within the creative exchange. The practice of journeying to wild, watery landscapes and retreating to the quiet interior of home, holds increasing importance; redefining artistry, voice and visibility within a complex world. Intimate meditations on transience and gaze are described within drawn, filmed and spoken works. Practice is commited, as far as possible to using repurposed/ recycled materials.
Solo and group exhibitions include, This Quiet House at General Office Gallery, Stourbridge, The Landing Project in Oswestry, Daisy Laing Gallery in Penzance and the RWA, Bristol. Group residency at ‘The Museum of Loss & Renewal’ on Orkney in 2024.
As a creative practitioner she develops expanded drawing workshops for groups within museum, gallery and outdoor venues. She has studied Guided Drawing practices through the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy. Concepts of haptic reward, touch methodologies and bilateral activity sit at the heart of her guidance in 1-1 online and in person co-enquiries. She co-leads a peer-learning-support group.
A graduate of Wimbledon School of Art, (BA Sculpture), Birmingham School of Art (MA Fine Art), Sarah is currently based in Stourbridge, UK where she works across arts and charitable sectors. She co-curates a programme of opportunities, including film, talks, exhibition and workshop opportunities at General Office Gallery/studios in Stourbridge .
