She has illustrated for many different projects including an ad campaign for Kew Gardens entitled 'Plantastic Play'. She has also worked on commissions from The Guardian and The Independent newspapers. Sarah now specialises in funny, inky illustration and words for children's fiction and picture books. Sarah likes to paint on very big canvas. She loves funny detail, colour, music and wide open spaces. Sarah now works from a studio on a hill in Forest Hill, London.
