Source material for Sara's ceramic sculptures is widely harvested from contemporary life, the impetus is a playful curiosity about the complexity of her exterior and interior worlds. Human psychology, environmental issues, and gender-roles are thematic threads in her work.

As narrative, metaphor, and humour feature in the pieces, Sara is intrigued that each viewer brings a different meaning to what they see.

Figures, either animal or human, are hand-built using a mix of pinching, coiling, slab-building, and carving. On occasion self-made or found objects are used in combination with clay for a rich interplay of materials.

Sara has an Honours degree in Fine Art, and in the 1990's worked in production pottery at Dartington Pottery in Devon. At times when she was unable to pursue an art-career, Sara worked at Riverford Organic Vegetables, planted many thousands of trees, and learnt how to build dry-stone walls. After completing a PGCE in art, she taught learning disabled adults weaving, pottery, and art.

After years in art-education, Sara is teaching less and working on developing her individual sculptures. She teaches a weekly ceramics class and offers specialised technique workshops from time to time. Sara is an associate member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
