When she returned to the UK in 2007 Sarah became a freelance Visual Artist using photographic, digital and hand generated processes for public and private commission.

Sarah is also the lead visual artist for 're:stoke', a collective of artists that combine their specialisms to produce high quality participatory work in Stoke-On-Trent with particular emphasis on community integration and regeneration. Her collaboration with the re:stoke artists has seen her use her broad experience to develop work for a wider audience. In February 2009 she created a digital collage, placed on the side of 15 buses travelling through Stoke-On-Trent. For 're:mind' in December 2009 she created three animated shorts, informed and inspired by public opinion, projected in and on buildings for this 360 degree site-specific performance.
