Sarah Morrissette was raised on a Greek island and in northern California, USA. She began painting professionally in Vienna, Austria, where she has had numerous group and solo exhibitions of her paintings.  Swimmers and high divers remind her of sunnier times in warm countries, and her signature vintage look harks back to times when life was seemingly easier. 

A self-taught artist working in acrylics on larger figurative pieces, and mixed media and gouache on smaller images, she has gained a wide fan base for her bold and vibrant swimmers and divers, which tempt viewers to "dive in." 

Recently, she has begun to paint skiers and other athletes, as always in her signature vintage style. For a complete list of exhibitions visit her Instagram at @morrissette_paintings.
