Sarah Keen & Enchanted England

I am inspired by the English countryside. As a child I grew up in Buckinghamshire and spent much of my childhood roaming the chalk based hills and fields that surrounded my family’s home.
After living in Southampton for many years, in 2004 I moved to a nearby village set in Hampshire's beautiful countryside and shimmering seascapes. I never really saw things the same way again. 
Hampshire’s chalky, flinty fields and gentle countryside unlocked memories of my childhood growing up in the Chilterns where I had been surrounded by books and artists.

The change of scene persuaded me into signing up for an MA in Creative & Critical Writing with the University of Winchester and this gave me the confidence to write and illustrate. Through my artwork I discovered Enchanted England; a magical, creative land that inspired the collections here for you today.

All best wishes

Sarah
