Sarah Joseph-Harewood
Sarah began to develop her artistic talent at an early age. She attended Holy Name Convent between 1979 and 1986, where her love of art was allowed to blossom under the expert tutelage of the late Pat Akien in forms 1-5 and Yvonne Spencer in 6th form. In 1987 she was accepted to Howard University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program and graduated (Summa cum Laude) in 1991 with a degree in painting.
After taking time off to start a family, Sarah went back to teach art at her Alma Mater from 1994-1997. While there, she began painting again and was pleased to submit to several joint exhibitions between 1995 and 1999.
A two-woman show held in October 2000 at Horizon’s Art Gallery was her first major exhibition in Trinidad and Tobago. Utilizing mostly watercolours she explored such themes as Carnival and Hosay as well as celebrating the beauty of our natural environment within a semi-abstract vein.
She finds her voice in acrylic on canvas incorporating a whimsical look at scenes of everyday life, Carnival as well as more introspective themes and even modern furniture pieces. Sarah recently held another exhibition at the Horizon’s Art Gallery and original works are available as well as prints.
