Based in Smithers, BC, Sarah Belford is an acrylic painter whose striking hyperrealistic works celebrate the landscapes that shape our sense of home. Whether hiking for days through the backcountry, floating on the ocean, or splitboarding the mountains surrounding her community, Sarah draws inspiration from time spent outdoors and the places that have left a lasting impression on her life.

Working with extraordinary precision, Sarah creates paintings so detailed they are often mistaken for photographs. Through meticulous layers of acrylic paint, she captures the subtle light, texture, and atmosphere of wild places, transforming fleeting moments into lasting memories. Her work invites viewers to reconnect with landscapes that feel familiar, whether they are places they’ve lived, visited, or simply dream of exploring.
