About
One of Australia's Top Speed Painters, Sarah ROWAN is an artist and thought leader who empowers individuals and organisations to ignite a better future through creativity. She has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and canvasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience. Merging her artistic talent with her passion for public speaking, Rowan has reimagined the role of the artist, pushing the boundaries of a studio-based pursuit into a trail-blazing performance genre that challenges the limitations of time and space. Rowan’s strong emotional and funny storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Accor, ANZ, AMP, Nestlé, Ferrari, Destination NSW and the Sydney Airport. She has inspired audiences to embrace their own creativity which she believes is a "birthright to all” and to date has painted at over 600 events and has raised over 460K for charity.
