Inspired by weathered textures and layered colours of sun-bleached paint that adorn the aged walls, doors and buildings of our urban environments, Sarah McDonald uses an instinctive application of marks on the canvas and abstract shapes contoured by vivid bursts of colour to create a sense of history, of time past.

"I find beauty in old derelict buildings and industrial urban environments - beauty that often goes unnoticed. I am inspired by the romance, history and character of old walls, rusty doors, peeling paint and old torn posters."
