CRITICAL WRITING
“Your art is to be the praise of something that you love. It may only be the praise of a shell or a stone.”
-John Ruskin
At Art Across we love to share art. Through both the spoken and written word.
While mostly focused on live events and face-to-face collaborations, at Art Across we also offer possibilities for the production of written content. Sara’s mission and passion to bring art to life for as wide a public as possible, in fact, find scope in all the events and opportunities we offer, including critical writing.
With a background and ongoing engagement, through her PhD, in an academic environment, Sara’s writing can serve a multitude of purposes. Her keen eye and knowledge of art history can inform many kinds of writing. from academic, to collaborating with journals, institutions, publications and artists.
Sara’s skills and speciality lies in creating engaging content for a non-specialised audience, communicating a fresh perspective based on detailed research and sound analysis.
Sara is always thrilled by any opportunity to share critical art and historical insight in a fully accessible, open and appealing style, or to work with artists to formalise their artistic expression.
