Sarah Buell Dowling
MEET THE ARTIST
Painting God’s creation and subjects that portray the love of Christ is my passion. In the painting below, the Nepalese woman has just received her first Bible. I was moved by her joy when I saw her photo on the cover of a “Voice of the Martyrs” magazine.
I long for my art to tug at that small place in each person that is still vulnerable. I hope to awaken the sensitive part in all of us that is beneath the busyness, the slick, and the cool.
As my friend Fox in the picture on the left will tell you, I’m an illustrator as well as a painter. I love whimsy.

“Nothing is more precious than memories. Without ever meeting my children, Sarah was able to capture that day in such sweet detail with only a dark photo to work off of. What a treasure!!
“I very much appreciate every brush stroke! Thank you so much Sarah. Best birthday present I’ve ever gotten for myself, ever!!”

What People Say
Reflections
I was one of five artists who were picked to have our art on a billboard in Charleston, SC.
ARTPOP is a wonderful organization that places art on empty billboards in cities around the country. I received the wonderfull comment above.
The Pink Hat
“I was falling in love with this little girl as Sarah painted her and it’s as beautiful in person as it was on her website. When an artist can use just a dab of white on the eye, just a stroke across the arm, capturing a moment with shadows and colors…Ohhhh its just so darling!! What a talent!”

FROG’S RAINY-DAY STORY AND OTHER FABLES is a book written by my husband, Michael James Dowling, and illustrated by me. Frog and all these characters are part of the fables book which is being published by Focus on the Family. There are nine fables each followed by quotes from the culture and then quotes from Scripture with enclosed discussion questions. All ages love this book!
