Originally from Devon, Sadie's lived in Co.Galway for the past twenty five years with her husband, furniture designer, Mark Hand and their four children. 

A Fine Art Sculpture graduate from Ulster University, she has conducted countless art projects with individuals, school groups and the wider community all over Ireland.

​

The concept of STORY is central to both her art and healing practices.

 Sadie was extremely lucky to attend a progressive primary school where creativity was encouraged on all levels. Realising the importance of this as an adult has been the driving force of her work with children. 

​

"Children need art, stories, poems and music as much as they need love and food, fresh air and play."  Philip Pullman. 

​

Through both her art and healing practices Sadie has had some very profound moments and overall her life has been a sequence of magic and miracles.
