With a fresh perspective on the Florida landscape, Sarah Hull presents beach crowds from a fascinating view high above. Replete with colorful umbrellas and bathing beauties scattered across the composition, her large-scale paintings show us a familiar subject from an unlikely and captivating angle. “I first began to photo document beach scenes from the top floor of hotels, later in an airplane, and eventually introduced drones into my work practice to capture reference material for this bird’s eye perspective,” Hull explains.

One can clearly see that Hull is inspired by our sunny climate. Her lively works exude a cheerful quality, both sophisticated and joyful. The pictorial style of Hull’s two-dimensional works are made even more vibrant by the sunlight flooding in the windows of our coastal homes. “Sarah Hull’s vibrant, dreamy, and impressionistic paintings of populated beaches from above are the perfect antidote to the doldrums of summer,” says gallery curator Robin Perry Dana.

Sarah Hull studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the New York Studio School and is currently in the prestigious Master in Fine Arts program at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston, MA.
