Sarah Hicks

I’ve always been creative and originally studied art at uni, before building a career in photography. Over the past year, I found my way back to painting — and it completely reignited my love for creating. What started as a personal outlet quickly grew into hosting paint and sip sessions and art experiences.I run my sessions from my own private studio, set on 5 peaceful acres, creating a relaxed and welcoming space where people can truly switch off. My approach isn’t about formal teaching or perfection — it’s about having fun, trying something new and enjoying the experience.I love seeing people walk in saying “I’m not creative and I can’t paint” and leave feeling proud of what they’ve made. Whether it’s friends, mums and daughters, or someone coming on their own, my sessions are all about connection, confidence and a good time.I’ve now hosted a range of events including private bookings, community sessions and special experiences like Mother’s Day. Everything I do is designed to be easy, supportive and enjoyable — no experience needed.My paint and sip sessions offer a unique approach, designed to encourage personal expression rather than replicate the same piece. Every guest creates something truly individual, making the experience both creative and meaningful.At the heart of it, I’m simply sharing something I rediscovered myself — and helping others reconnect with their creativity too.
