Creative Non-Fiction: Sarah McEneaney

For nearly five decades, Sarah McEneaney has devoted her practice to a singular theme, the meticulous chronicling of her own life. In a new exhibition on view at Taymour Grahne Projects, the artist presents a series of paintings that chart the latest moments and milestones in a life.

Sarah McEneaney’s autobiographical paintings feature domestic interiors, intimate self-portraits, her studios, her animals, her neighbourhoods, travels, and community spaces. It’s the totality of a life, rendered in an engaging and evolving visual diary, sublimating the deeply personal into the universal.
