context_page_description: Sarah Richards is a South African sculptor working in bronze.
  From 1985 to 1990 she studied fine art at the Durban Technikon, where she majored in sculpture. During the next four years she travelled overseas to gain experience and insight. She then returned to Durban to make and teach art. She completed her master's degree in fine art at the Durban University of Technology in 2008. Richards lives and practises art in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands of South Africa.
  Richards has been creating bronze sculptures for the past 20 years. Her sculptures show attention to detail and give an impression of movement and animation. In creating a sculpture she uses a mixture of media, including wax and plasticine, which allows fluidity and detail. She uses rough Rhinolite for texture and structure. Her solo exhibitions include two at ArtSPACE in Durban. Group exhibitions include those at St. Lorient Fashion & Art Gallery and Cherie de Villiers Gallery in Johannesburg and Foundryman's Choice in Paarl. Her commissions include one of King Nyabela for the National Heritage Project and Fish Eagles for the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City.
