Meet your Art Tutor: Sarah Bell
Hi I’m Sarah,
My creative journey started with art school in London and has taken me on exciting adventures, including time as an Artist in Residence for actor Kenneth Branagh and working as a freelance illustrator in Amsterdam for nine years. Now, I’m based in Penzance, Cornwall, where I draw inspiration from the beautiful coastal environment that surrounds me.
With two decades of teaching experience, I bring an infectious enthusiasm and a simple, approachable way to art that makes it fun, engaging, and fulfilling. Through my new online art school, I offer a wide variety of courses—covering everything from painting to sketching, and much more—designed to help you grow creatively at your own pace.
My teaching philosophy is all about encouraging exploration and confidence in your art, no matter your preferred medium. I’ve helped many students discover their unique artistic voice, and I can’t wait to help you do the same.
When I’m not teaching or creating, you can find me in my studio in Penzance, where I work alongside my husband, who runs a gallery selling my paintings and cards. My daughter keeps me organized with emails and bookings, and our cat "helps" by sitting on my artwork (especially when it’s wet!).
I’m here to give you the tools, the techniques, and the confidence to embrace your creativity and make art that truly excites you. Let’s start your artistic journey today!
