Sarah Rowan is an artist and thought leader who empowers individuals and organizations to ignite a better future through creativity. As one of Australia’s top-speed painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and canvasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience.

Rowan’s strong emotional and funny storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Adobe, ANZ, AMP, Nestlé, Ferrari, Destination NSW and the Sydney Airport. She has inspired audiences to embrace their own creativity which she believes is a "birthright to all” and to date has painted at over 500 events and has raised over 300K for charity.

Speaking on the power of living authentically and embracing creativity to live full, holistic lives, Rowan empowers the audience to connect with the lost parts of self. Break the routine! Spice life up, and start living consciously, in the present and you will find yourself happier, healthier and living life more fully! And when this becomes a part of team culture, not only will your team be stronger, but they will also be more innovative, productive and profitable.

After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself. No longer shackled by societal norms, she has stepped into the full power of her truth personally and professionally.
