Sarah Cox is of Wongkathaa and Banjima descent on her mother’s side and of Scottish descent on her father’s side.

Her grandparents were part of the Stolen Generation. They were raised at Sister Kate’s Children’s Home. Learning about her family connections and their life journeys, Sarah created Crimson DesArt – It’s In The Blood.

Sarah married a Bard, Nirumbud, Noongar man from the Kimberley 20 years ago. They have three sons and live in Broome. Sarah is a primary school teacher.

Sarah’s paintings alternate between vibrant and earthy colours. They are flowing, strong, often feel rough to touch and convey a meaning where words often fail. Sarah hopes her paintings have a positive effect on audiences.
