Collections
A number of paintings by Sarah Spackman have been selected for the contemporary art collection of The Allied Irish Bank. Her work is also included in many private collections and she has painted to commission for a number of clients.
Sarah Spackman’s still-life paintings are based on observation, the study of a particular object, or group of objects, in a specific space. More often than not, the objects are simple pots, painted with subtle and delicate colouring. The pots can be seen as vessels to convey ideas and emotions. Strong drawing is the basis for a very personal look at objects in their own defined space.
