Sarah Irwin, Flying Stones Studio

Sarah attended Georgian College in Ontario and NASCAD in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Since 2004 she has been rooting around Nova Scotia, finding, salvaging, pack-ratting and reinventing objects and themes.She is attracted by organic forms, things worn by nature, and the concept of growth in regards to time. She loves the idea that an object can become something entirely new. Her idea is that art is all around us if we pay attention;  it's  just waiting to be integrated back into the world. You can view more of her work here.

In addition to her career as an artist, Sarah and her husband, Peter, operate The Finer Diner at 9976 Peggy's Cove Road, Hackett's Cove, Nova Scotia B3Z 3J3. During the festival Sarah and Peter will be hosting various artists on the Ice Cream Deck at the side of the restaurant. Do stop by to see what is happening.
