I'm a polar exploration obsessive who makes art for adventurous people. I've sailed around Svalbard on a wooden tallship and done polar expedition training, I run the Polar Artists Collective and the Polar Book Club, and I've worked with the Explorer's Club, Royal Scottish Geographical Society, Discovery Point, Shackleton Museum, and Antarctic Heritage Trust NZ. I'm inspired by stories of people doing incredible things, and I hope you will be too.

"Sarah Barnard’s watercolours of iconic events during the Heroic Age have been painted with a very sensitive touch. The figures have just enough detail so that you immediately recognize the scene and the event portrayed. The blue colours are carefully weighted so that the pictures have a sense of calm. I therefore purchased her painting of Scott, Shackleton and Wilson on their “Farthest South” to be framed next to my collection of signatures of these explorers. Her painting adds colour to the otherwise black and white photos by Ponting and Hurley." - Dr Lewis Levitz

Sarah Barnard's polar work, particularly her online, social media activity, is fun and engaging. It brings together fans of polar adventures--artists, historians and a wide range of enthusiasts. - Liam Maloney, Shackleton's Endurance
