SARAH KIDNER, SFCA

“My focus and passion is on colour and its relationship to light and shade. I love the vibrancy and rich texture that can be achieved through painting in oils. Whether I am painting a landscape, still life or figures I am constantly trying to find new approaches and to push myself artistically”

Sarah Kidner was born in 1964. After much travelling her family moved to Ontario in 1969. Growing up in Toronto, Sarah was exposed to and inspired by many great art exhibitions from the Group of Seven to the French Impressionists. At the University of Toronto she studied history and philosophy. A love of skiing, hiking and travelling drew Sarah to Banff in 1987. Now living in Canmore with her husband and twin boys, she finds the Rocky Mountains an ideal setting for creative inspiration. Primarily self taught, Sarah has attended many painting workshops from highly acclaimed and talented artists whose expertise has helped her to find her current path. Sarah paints primarily out of her Canmore studio but can also be seen rising to the challenge of painting on location. Sarah is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
