ARTIST BIO

Sara McKnight is a self-taught artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland who specialises in vegan friendly watercolour, pastel, and ink. Her passion and drive comes from a connection she has had with animals from a young age. Sara draws the viewers attention by translating the personality and spark she sees in animals to paper, to inspire others to view animals as complex, sentient individuals, deserving of our care and protection. 

Taking enjoyment in every step of the artistic process, Sara also creates each print in her home studio, from colour-matching scanned files to her original artwork, to printing, mounting and framing each piece. 

Through years of dedicated practice, she has developed a unique artistic style that reflects her deep connection with animals, breathing life into each subject through intricate details and vibrant colours.

In addition to wildlife art, Sara specialises in heartfelt custom pet portraits that serve as lasting tributes to beloved animal companions. Each commissioned piece is crafted with love and care, capturing the soul and personality of each subject to create emotive and lifelike portrayals.
