Her considerable skills are evident in &#8216;My Unwinding State&#8217; and the ambient quality of the tracks are at once appealing and mesmerising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sarah is a true artist, and in addition to her music, she also produces visual art, primarily using charcoal and acrylic.
