Sarah Adams Art

Sarah Adams holds a Graphic Design degree from Medway College of Design. After graduation, she enrolled at the Dyfed College of Art in Carmarthen on a Wildlife Illustration Course. This was after she realized that she really wanted to paint plants and wildlife. She graduated from there in 1979 with a distinction and immediately joined one of the top London Artist’s Agents, Artist Partners. For the next few years after her graduation, she illustrated all sorts of plants and wildlife for publishers, packaging and the advertising industry. She worked for many clients including I.C.I., The Oxford University Press, Usbourne Books and Which Magazine. It was during that time that she met and married her fellow artist Stephen Adams. She had also been painting images for calendars and greeting cards and went on to specialize in these, along with giftware, collectors’ plates, and jigsaws. This has allowed her more scope in design and subject matter. Sarah has been a professional artist/illustrator of wildlife, animals and flowers for close to 4 decades. Her paintings represent her lifelong interest in painting and drawing the beauties of the natural world from the smallest of Flowers, Butterflies and Birds of Britain through to the flamboyant Parrots and the more exotic Orchids from South America. Framed Sarah Adams art are a common feature on the walls of animal lovers and even botanists. Since 1982 her art has appeared every year in the R.S.P.B. Christmas catalogue. They have also been used on greetings cards for most of the major high street stores. She has Botanical illustrations in the Kew Gardens archive and her paintings are in many private collections in the U.K. and abroad.
