Sarah Taylor Silverwood is an artist based in Birmingham. She grew up in The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.

Sarah’s drawing practice works across animation, textiles, ceramics, sculpture and print. Combining her interests in making, storytelling and working with other people, she creates artwork for exhibitions, the public realm and the home.

Sarah often revisits narratives that have become fixed by familiarity, and through drawing, reanimates them. She is continually researching making techniques and experimenting with materials, developing the practical application of her drawing in response to the ideas she is working with.

Current projects include new public art works with Hospital Rooms (2024), Eastside Projects (2025), Meadow Arts (2025) and Fermynwoods (2023). Recent solo projects include Love Bugs at Chapter, Cardiff (2021), Daphne at Aspex Portsmouth (2020) and The New Art Gallery Walsall (2019), and Crowd Show at NN Contemporary (2018). Sarah was artist in residence at The British Consulate in Chicago (2014) and The University of Birmingham (2013), and recipient of the 2019 Feeney Fellowship.

Her studio is at Grand Union and she is also a co-director of Modern Clay, a co-operative ceramics studio in Birmingham. You can buy work at Studio Outlet, Rabbits Road Press and East Bristol Contemporary. In 2025 Sarah is launching a handmade tile company called Sunday Tiles.
