Sarah is an artist and surface designer. She spends her days working in the fashion industry designing prints and graphics for women's and junior's apparel. Luckily she has found a natural outlet for her love of pattern and color that helps pay the mortgage. But she still loves to come home at the end of the day and get paint under her fingernails.
Sarah resides in Dallas Texas, because the lone star state just doesn't seem to want to let her go. She lives with her husband and the cutest curly haired boy you ever layed eyes on. One of her new talents is drawing trucks and choo choo trains. She can even do the sound effects.
In all things she strives to be continually more awesome and always making stuff.
