Sarah Rivett-Carnac

The natural world, and plants in particular, have always been an important part of my life. Visiting gardens with my mother, learning about design and the Latin plant names from her while being surrounded by wildlife and nature on the farm in Scotland. 

Following a career as a jewellery designer in London, I attended part-time classes at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art in London to learn oil painting and composition. My work is inspired by landscapes, flowers, gardens, trees, both in Scotland and Wiltshire where I currently have a studio in the garden.

During lockdown, I began collecting, photographing and pressing flowers as part of a record of everything I grow. This has led to a greater appreciation of those plants and I have begun making collages which I digitally photograph and make into gift cards and prints.

Another growing passion is the hand built ceramics since joining The Clay Loft near Stroud in Gloucestershire. While still experimenting with new clays and techniques this is a developing practice but one I enjoy greatly.

Garden visits by appointment in aid of The Simon Rivett-Carnac Trust for mental health.
