Sara Hughes

Sara Hughes calls herself a painter, but not in the traditional sense of the word as her ‘paintings’ can be found on all sorts of surfaces, from walls and floors, to plastic containers and paper cut-outs. Her tools range from paint brushes to computer programmes, juxtaposing the ‘subjective’ hand of the artist with the ‘objective’ mark of the machine. She often uses the same material as sign writers – machine-cut vinyl – but adds layers of painting and printing over the top, covering walls with a dazzling array of colourful patterns.
