Artist Bio

Sara Rawlinson is a multi-awarded fine art photo-artist searching for peace within the femme fatale nature of climate change. Her work reflects on the longevity & fragility of both sustainability and tranquility. Combining slow shutter speed with physical movements akin to dancing, Sara’s photos layer texture, colour, and tranquility — literally and metaphorically moving mountains, toppling buildings, eroding coastlines. They calm passersby, yet provoke thoughtfulness in viewers who linger.

Sara Rawlinson has had a camera in her hand most days since the age of six, when she spent many hours with her fine art photographer grandma both in the field and in the darkroom. Despite these artistic inclinations, Sara’s first career was in academic science, where she ran a Masters programme in Natural Hazards and led seismology field projects on multiple continents.

Leaving science for full time art in 2012, her daily freelance work now includes heritage architecture photography HeritagePhotographs.com, fine art photography SaraRawlinson.com, exhibition curation and management MagmaRising.org, and web design for artists and science consortiums ArtScienceWebsites.com. She also sells some of her early architecture work at CambridgePhotographs.com and home schools her 12-yr old daughter.

Over 40 of Sara’s photographs and two of her self-published books have been awarded and she has exhibited her photography many times in both group and solo shows in England, Europe, and Australia. Her work is held in private collections around the world. She is an elected ‘Brother’ of the Art Workers’ Guild in London.

Artwork

Name: Erupt

This single-exposure abstract photograph shows the 2022 volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall, Iceland and its movement through the valley floor and blue sky. Its ephemeral, intimate, painterly aesthetic is reminiscent of the volatility and transient nature of the eruption.
