Born in North Wales on the Mawddach estuary in 1970, Sasha spent her early years growing up on the shores of Bala lake. Much of her early life was spent surrounded by a close community of artists, painters and potters who set up life there during the sixties and seventies, many of whom are still there today.
Later on Sasha moved to the Georgian city of Bath, where she studied at Bath Academy of Arts and then stayed on for another ten years to continue painting and drawing the city.
For some years she specialized solely in painting the Georgian cityscapes and buildings around her, always inspired by the light and architecture and space of the city. Sasha has worked on many commissions and produced countless paintings of the city and its surrounding areas. She exhibits and works with galleries and businesses, and has been involved in running Festival Galleries on numerous occasions during the Bath International Festival. Her paintings are always recognizable by their strong use of colour, line and form.
Sasha continues to keep her connection to Bath, regularly showing and selling work through galleries, through the web and to private clients.

Currently Sasha is working on a series of London paintings, and will be launching a new collection of London Limited Edition Prints soon.
Meanwhile Sasha continues to paint buildings, Bath and London and other places.
''I love the formal structure of beautiful buildings, the simplicity of line and repeated decoration. When I look at a beautiful building I feel compelled to somehow translate a reflection of it onto paper. The colours I use come purely from a feeling I have of the place, in that moment of translating it to paint. I've always felt drawn to places with a particular character, sometimes by their wildness, remoteness and inaccessibility, and sometimes by the impressions that man had made on a landscape, like the way a city grows and spreads out, or buildings run up the side of a hill, or the terracing in Southern Spain and the stone built hill walls in Snowdonia.
