After graduation, she hopes to find a job alongside freelancing to get her name out in the industry and one day prioritize freelance illustration or work as an Art Director. All the while, Sarah will be working towards her goal of joining the Society of Illustrators.
If she’s not actively creating, she’s probably hanging out with her cats or cozied up reading a science fiction or fantasy book.

I have been considered an artist, albeit with varying skill, for my entire life. Since I was little, the people in my life have been encouraging my artistic pursuits. All you had to do was give me a pen and pencil, and I was happy. I was always the “art kid” in school, and I have worked these past two decades to hone my skills for professional use.
My art is primarily inspired by my interests growing up, and the core principles of what made those interests so special to me. I was always, always doodling. Little monsters and creatures, people and animals, nothing was too out of the box for me. Fanart was also integral to my artistic evolution over the years. Though not original, these drawings would help improve technical skill.
