The Ann Korologos Gallery Art & Literature Program presents Sarah Lamb, a classic American painter whose work and reflections are shared in Still Lifes and Landscapes, for an artist’s talk and book signing on Wednesday March 13, from 5 to 6PM at Ann Korologos Gallery in Basalt, Colorado. Lamb will speak, sign books, answer audience questions, and introduce her new arrivals: Lobster, Bonne Maman and Butter, Pansies in Silver and Olives and Leaves which may be previewed here.

Sarah Lamb is a gifted and dynamic realist painter. With classical skill—and through transparency, depth and texture—she captures the minute details of everyday objects in her dramatic still lifes and luscious landscapes. Her approach encourages the viewer to love the familiar and see beauty in the mundane. 

“Sarah Lamb brings to her work a robustly sensual grasp of the world. Her keenness of eye and joyful brush make the whole enterprise feel freshly alive as she reminds us what the really wonderful things in life are,” shares art critic John A. Parks. 

In Still Lifes and Landscapes (published by Sarah Lamb and designed, printed, and bound by Brilliant in Exton, PA), each chapter contains the artist’s eloquent reflections on her reasons, patterns, philosophy and method, while the subject matter illustrates her deep understanding of nature and captures the essence of each subject with ease. The book is introduced with an essay by  Dr. William Gerdts, a widely recognized scholar and art historian who has written extensively on American Impressionism and American still life painting.

Born in Petersburg, VA, with a passion for art and an appreciation for the past, Sarah spent a semester at the Studio Art Center International in Florence, Italy before graduating from Brenau Women’s College with a BS degree in Studio Art in 1993. Following a summer workshop in Santa Fe, NM with renowned classical painter Jacob Collins, she spent two years painting at The Ecole Albert Defois in the Loire Valley with classical realist artist Ted Seth Jacobs. In 1997 Sarah Lamb moved to New York and spent the next 6 years studying and painting under Jacob Collins at the Water Street Atelier. During this time, she had successful one-woman shows in major galleries in Atlanta, Houston, and San Francisco and was represented in art galleries in Alexandria, VA, St. Simon’s Island and Gainesville, GA, Sag Harbor, NY and Madison, CT. More recently, she has had sell-out, one-woman shows in New York City, Houston and San Francisco.

Sarah Lamb is marrried to portrait artist David Larned, and they have a daughter, Sadie.  They divide their time between Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley and Houston, Texas.
