An affiliate of the celebrated Water Street Atelier in Brooklyn, New York, Sarah Lamb is among a younger generation of American painters who carries on the tradition of representational realism. In her images of flowers, still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, Lamb fuses her classically realistic style with a bold compositional sense and a perceptive use of color.
Sarah Lamb was born in Petersburg, Virginia and spent her childhood in Georgia. She received a B.F.A. from Brenau Women’s College, in Gainsville, Georgia, in 1993. In the ensuing years, she studied at the Water Street Atelier, the Art Students League of New York, and L’Ecole Albert Defois in France. She has also studied with Sarah Brown in Atlanta.
In addition to shows in New York, Sarah Lamb has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Gainesville, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Sag Harbor on Long Island; Washington D.C.; and galleries in Virginia. In 2010 she was included in the Brandywine River Museum’s exhibition, Reality Check: Contemporary American Trompe l'Oeil. Lamb will also participate in the 2011 New Britain Museum of American Art’s exhibition, New/Now: Sarah Lamb.
