Sara Wilks

Sara Wilks is a freelance artist whose work moves naturally from painting to photography — and sometimes, directly in between. 

Photographer

Sara Wilks captures moments, not just actions. Even in her sports and lifestyle work, Wilks ensures that a single image tells an entire story. Her photos emphasize authenticity and timing.

Sara Wilks maintains an active and lively portfolio of sports photography. Her photos include action shots of tennis, curling and wrestling. Rather than forcing the moment, Wilks’s approach allows the scene to reveal itself naturally — producing images that feel immediate and true to the experience.

Sara Wilks also captures lifestyle photography that carries the same sensibility. Clients value the photographer’s collaborative approach — regardless of the size of the project. Whether she’s snapping a few shots for a LinkedIn profile, capturing Christmas joy in family photos or documenting an event, Wilks encourages collaboration with her subjects. Even when a subject is in front of the camera, they still have the opportunity to direct the shot — and Wilks makes that happen! 

Painter

Painting & Fine Art Practice

Sara Wilks is also an expressive painter; her portfolio contains pieces both hyper-realistic and abstract. Her commissioned compositions are often more reflective of the client than her own personal style — a true talent that many freelancers tend to struggle with. While her expressive nature and dedication to technique can be seen in each piece, Wilks ensures that the client’s vision comes to life — even if that vision has a backdrop that she’s never even seen before. 

Sara Wilks’s fine art has been featured in gallery settings online and in-person. Particularly interested in creative education efforts, Wilks is currently developing a workshop that will include a gallery display at the end — showing new artists that all you have to do is share to be seen.
