While growing up in Pickering Ontario, artist Sara Hall was aware of her ability to draw. But it was not until after moving to Bracebridge in 1994, and enrolling in a life drawing class at the Chapel Gallery, that Sara began to nurture her talent. Sara's academic background is in Political Science, which she studied at the University of Toronto. Though she did not study art in school, Sara has taken many workshops, and has been actively involved in the open studio drawing groups offered by Muskoka Arts and Crafts. She has also been very fortunate to have studied with Greg Damery, who is both an exceptional artist, and a teacher at the Ontario College of Art and Design.

Sara's work is primarily figurative. She has a fascination with people, who they are and how they live. Even her landscapes will often include some trace of humanity. Whether it be an old barn or a weathered fence, it is the mystery of who could have been there before that interests Sara. But it is the representation of an individual that interests Sara most. Her portraits and figure drawings, which are sensitively rendered in both charcoal and oil paints, reflect Sara's desire to portray not only a person's likeness, but also their character and vulnerabilities. The relationship between the artist and her model is a unique and intimate one, and it is this dynamic which Sara Hall explores in her work.
