The inspire art from cinema- Sarah Mitchell Munro

Sarah Mitchell Munro is a full-time artist and she trained as a physiotherapist who always loved art. Last week she opened a “Through the Window”, which was an exhibition about the domestic space and was presented from women’s viewpoints. Also the whole idea was inspired by her loves- cinema. In addition to, she collaborated with her friends Wendy Richdale to fulfill the whole display.

In her work, she took a lot of footages around her home in which was at Victoria villa in Hamilton. She represented this theme by using fairy tale, and classical atmosphere. The idea of her work was inspired from the French cinematographer Janusz Kaminski. Sarah said that “I love the way Kaminski frames his shots and his use of lighting and colour, the work he made was elusive quality”.

No matter, Sarah worked very hard now and won an outstanding prize previously. She still wanted to keep studying before she turns fifty years old. I am really impressed with the way which Sarah’s thinking in her arts and her sprite in leaning arts.
