Meet Artist Sarah Sculley

We were lucky enough to Interview Artist Sarah Sculley for our very first Issue of IndieLove Magazine! Here's what she had to say..

* When did you decide being an artist was your calling?

Yesterday. True! I graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2002 as one of the many fresh­faced graphic designers. As the years went on, the briefs came in, the changes, and changes, and late nights, and more changes, and the all­ nighters, more changes and then having my creative ideas smooshed, I decided that maybe being a graphic designer was a bit soul destroying. So I painted and created as an outlet.

I showed my work when I lived in China and had sell­out shows. When I moved home to Brisbane I thought I had to become a grown­up­­buy a house, settle down, procreate­­all those picket­fence, 2.5 kids ideals. Silly me! I worked my tail off as a designer for a company that ended up making me redundant, one week before I was due back from maternity leave. It was an amazing blessing. It gave me the time, creativity, and freedom to put everything I had into a solo show at Jugglers earlier this year. In my eyes, it was a massive success. I am entirely proud. Since that show I’ve had so many opportunities become available for me to truly do what I believe is my calling­­art. Yesterday was the first spare second I’ve had to sit down and think, ‘Oh my, everything is falling into place. I’m entirely happy, grateful, and I feel like the real me. The universe is working with me and right here and now is where I am meant to be.’ This is that happiness that everyone has been talking about! Huh!
