Sarah Targett: Peeking Duck

About the artist

Sarah Targett studied Fine Art Printmaking at Falmouth College of Art and now concentrates on making contemporary, narrative based Screenprints. Her prints are driven by the natural world and everyday domestic objects. With a  love for colour and pattern the objects are often highly decorative and a vessel for her to tell a story. Sarah has combined drawing from observation with these influences to create her prints.  Birds and animals often escape decorative motifs and disrupt the viewers expectation of their appropriation as images. Witty titles to the work reflect her approach as the word play adds to a sense of implied narrative.

For 11 years Sarah was the Technician at a small Screen Print Studio where she advised and assisted open access customers and ran group and one to one screenprint classes. 

She has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and regularly at the Royal West of England Academy Open Exhibition. Based in Bath in the South West of England she has taken part in a number of group exhibitions in both public and private galleries in the locale.
