Sarah Desmarais ARWS is an abstract painter working in gouache on old Japanese and other found papers.  Her paintings are simple arrangements of geometric forms, intended as playful diagrammatic representations of improbable and dreamlike things: imagined cosmologies, mathematical theorems, implausible objects, impossible architectures and the unseen structure of things.  Her subject matter comes from poetry and from a childhood fascination with intriguing plans, maps, mazes and diagrams in old books.

Sarah lives and works in the UK and exhibits internationally.
