This open studio session offers a relaxed, supportive space for artists to catch up on their work at their own pace. Whether you're working in pastels, oils, watercolours, or mixed media, you'll have the freedom to explore your projects without a formal structure. Guided support is available as needed, offering feedback, encouragement, and technical help across mediums. Connect with fellow artists, share ideas, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of creative focus in good company.
Sarah Pondevie is a Western Australian artist who grew up in Walyalup (Fremantle). Working across pastels, oils, and mixed media, her practice is grounded in painting from observation, with studio works evolving from plein air studies and direct engagement with the landscape.
As a colourist, she is particularly drawn to the shifting relationships between shadow and reflected light. In pastel, she draws on the immediacy and purity of pigment to evoke the clarity and intensity of Australian light.
Alongside her observational work, she explores the abstraction of the landscape through mixed media, emphasising response over literal representation.
Sarah’s work has been recognised with awards across oils, pastels, and watercolour in both landscape and portraiture.
