Sarah Tue-Fee, a Fine Arts Major at University of Ottawa, uses film stills and promotional movie images as references for her work. She tries to link the time-based film medium to painting, which is largely based on still moments. As she states, "It's fan art, but with a conceptual backing, so it's okay." When asked about her favourite materials she talks about oil paints. "I find that there's so much more you can do with them due to the extended drying time and looser texture. Plus it looks 'sexy.' Her works have a sex appeal to them that adds to this effect of the oil paints.
Sarah Tue-Fee received her BFA from the University of Ottawa in 2012. Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, her work has been exhibited and collected widely in group shows and catalogues in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto. She was awarded the Jennifer Cayley Award from M.A.S.C in 2010 and received the Edmund and Isobel Ryan Visual Arts Scholarship from the University of Ottawa in 2012. She currently lives and works in Montreal.

Her paintings explore techniques of collaged imagery, translated through paint to create personal, ‘original’ spaces out of existing images. Through these hybrid translations, she creates improbable settings in which narratives can appear both familiar and otherworldly. By synthesizing found images of contrasting constructed and organic environments, her work aims to evoke a sense of spatial collapse, instability, and disorientation. Areas of representation disintegrate into abstract brushstrokes, as bright clashing colors intensify these overwhelming and uninhabitable settings where strange narratives can emerge.
