Show at Malvern Artists’ Society
Epstein and her husband Max, would often travel together, and she always carried her sketchpad, capturing moments wherever she went.
After raising her four children, Sarah Epstein decided to embark on a new chapter of her life by studying fine arts and majoring in drawing at Victoria University in the 1980s.
This decision was not just about picking up a hobby, it was a way for her to express her life experiences and channel her passion for creativity.
Epstein and her husband Max, would often travel together, and she always carried her sketchpad, capturing moments wherever she went.
Her body of work spans a rich tapestry of themes.
Family and close friends, vivid childhood memories, iconic Melbourne landmarks, and everyday scenes of people interacting in coffee shops, bars, beaches or by the pool.
What is truly remarkable about her work is her versatility. Other artists are often amazed to discover that all her pieces come from the same artist.
Epstein is deeply inspired by the history of impressionists and post-impressionists, drawing from their techniques and constantly experimenting with new mediums and styles.
From watercolour and ink to oils, charcoal, vinyl printing and even collage, she has mastered each one before moving on to explore the next.
Next month, she will be showcasing 100 pieces of her collection at the Malvern Artists’ Society.
This exhibit is particularly special as all entry fees of $15 will be donated to the IDF Widows and Orphans charity.
Epstein is excited about her exhibition.
“Already opening and closing nights are sold out but if someone is interested in a viewing outside the advertised times please message 0431 637 700,” she said.
The exhibition is at Malvern Artists’ Society, 1297-1299 High Street, Malvern from Sunday, February 2, to Thursday February 6. 10.30am to 12.30pm or by appointment.
