ABOUT
Sarah Burrier is a student illustrator and artist residing in Frederick County, Maryland. She is currently studying Illustration at Towson University.

Sarah has been selected by her peers for multiple student art shows, winning awards for her pieces in their selective categories. She was also featured as a 2020 Bettie Art Award finalist at the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, Maryland and was the recipient of the Alexander E.

Continuing her illustrative endeavors, Sarah works to expand into new mediums and concepts. She would love to one day create conceptual imagery for video games and illustrate covers for novels, among much more possibilities. After graduation, she hopes to find a job while freelancing to get her name out in the industry and one day work as a Concept Artist or Art Director. All the while, Sarah will be working towards her goal of joining the Society of Illustrators.
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.
