The Artist - Sarah Bell
Sarah Bell was born in Lancashire, and gained an Honours Degree in Illustration at Kingston Upon Thames University, before going on to work as Artist in Residence for actor Kenneth Brannagh’s Renaissance Theatre Company at the Lyric Theatre in London, where she also held her first solo exhibition.
As a freelance illustrator for nine years in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, she worked on commissions for publishing, editorial, advertising and fashion clients, specialising in logo design, and taught in the fashion department at The Royal School of Art in the Hague. She also worked as a costume visualiser and designer for the film industry.
After her move to Devon in 1998, she began painting full time; writing her “Country Tales” column for Devon Life magazine; teaching her popular Watercolour Workshops, and has been featured on the “Country Lives” and “Arts and Crafts” programmes on Carlton TV.
In 2003 she trained for a PGCE qualification to teach art, and has worked as Artist in Residence at various schools in Devon, whilst continuing her practise as a professional artist.
Sarah works mainly in watercolour, and acrylic on canvas, and her paintings reflect her endless fascination with the play of light and shadow.
Paintings are often done outdoors, on the spot. Favorite subjects are the Mediterranean and the French Alps, farmyards and animals, the Devon coastline, and of course fashion and costume.

THE ITINERARY
Dates: 22 – 29 June and 22 – 26 August 2008
Starts Sunday: Upon arrival at Geneva airport you’ll be collected by Summer Morzine staff and transported to the comfort of Chalet Savoy. You then have the rest of the day to familiarise yourself with the Chalet and the rest of Morzine. In the evening you can relax with pre-dinner drinks before some informal introductions to the team and each other.
Every morning you will be driven to a location where you will spend the morning painting. You will then be able to enjoy lunch at one of the fantastic restaurants on the mountain, all of which offer a fantastic backdrop while you are eating. After lunch it’s back to Morzine where you can choose to continue painting from one of the spectacular views that Chalet Savoy
offers, or just unwind by looking around some of the many shops and cafes in Morzine.
Depending on the length of your stay, you will get at least one full day painting on location at either Graydon, Lac du Montriond, Lac du Mines d’Or or the market in Morzine.
