Sara Langdon
Sara Langdon (b. 1976) is a contemporary landscape painter who draws inspiration from the beauty of familiar and distinct local New Zealand landscapes and coastlines. She is most interested in connecting people to the land and its beauty and achieves this through her fresh approach to landscape realism, highly detailed brushwork and bold compositions.
Sara worked in Photography (BGD)and taught Art and Art History (Postgrad Dip Tchg Sec) before turning her love of painting into a full-time practice in 2013. Her background in photography strongly
influences Sara’s detailed, light-filled landscapes, which are often closely cropped. Her style is contemporary, exploring the colour, form, textures
and light unique to New Zealand.
Since 2015 she has been working on a series of paintings and Limited-Edition prints based on the volcanic cones of Auckland. Sara has been represented by Parnell Gallery since 2013. Her work hangs in private collections locally and internationally. ‘My work is not just a replication of the landscape, but a response to the beauty I see there.’
