About me...
Hi, I’m Sarah, an illustrator and geologist based near Cardiff, Wales.
I take my sketchbook and watercolours out and about with me to draw from observation. These sketches often form the basis of my illustrations using either traditional or digital methods.
Currently one of my favourite techniques involves combining my experimental printmaking textures with ink and watercolour drawings in photoshop.
