The Artist

Hi, I'm Sara

Artist profile

Hi! I’m a mum who loves drawing by hand on everything from the back of an envelope to a fresh sheet of fine-art paper. I layer watercolours, Copic markers, coloured pencils, and ink to give each original piece a distinctive, tactile depth.

My art focuses on detail, shadow, and soft, touchable textures—a balance of joy and challenge that drives my practice. I aim to bring comfort, kindness, and heart to everything I create.

Experiencing a major life change gave me the confidence to finally share my work with the world, so here it is! I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I love making them.
