Fine Art Photography
A Rhode Island photographer, Sarah Lawhorne’s work explores the New England landscape through a natural lens. Sarah works with old school film photography as well as alternative processes. Her black and white landscape photography prints as well as her nostalgic color photography capture the heart of the places she explores. Enamored with the coastal life, her newest landscape photography showcases the beaches, dunes, and sea of her native New England through the timeless aesthetic of cyanotype.

Poetry
Sarah Lawhorne is an avid writer, both of poetry and essays. Her favorite writing form is the senryu, a style of poem similar to a haiku, but which deals with human nature rather than Mother Nature. These short poems focus on the human condition, making readers think about life from a new perspective. Sometimes the writings are funny, sometimes tinged with sadness, and at other times they are simple declarations of what it means to be human in the modern world.
Sarah also regularly publishes blog posts with more information about the art world, including film and camera reviews, practical advice for creatives, and behind the scenes stories and information.
