Sarah Granville's background is largely based in architecture. Drawing has been central to her practice as a means to note observations, record thoughts and to convey information. Light, form and composition are key to her work.
She studied printmaking at Kensington and Chelsea College (now Morley College) whilst running her architectural practice, intrigued by the possibilities of refining drawings and sketches through stages and by layering, and by the joy of the process.
Most of her work starts 'plein air', and is developed either in printmaking or in painting.
