About Me

My name is Sara. I am a twenty-something who is married and has one cat. I grew up in a small town in upstate NY and now live in the great city of New Orleans. I am truly a Yankee living in the DEEP south! I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago in 2009 with a B.A. in Art History. That same year I married my husband whom I met in college. He is a cinematographer and photographer. 

During my life people always ask me how is it that I'm so creative. How do you do it? What's the trick? Etc. I have no real answer. Honestly, I have never known anything other than being creative. That is at the center of who God created me to be. I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. My parent's can attest to the amount of coloring books, sketchbooks, crayons and colored pencils that accumulated in our home. In High School I was in the art room during all my free time. I wanted to be drawing, painting, creating! Even my math tests had doodles and sketches all over them...and rarely had any real math on them :)

Recently I have rediscovered my love for the simplicity of drawing. Yes, I can knit or sew or do most anything artsy or creative but there is something special about a simple black and white line drawing. During my own journey and reflections I have found it be therapeutic to draw Truth in a way that can be shared with the world. Drawing and hand lettering is where God has me right now. I hope and pray that the Truth of the words in these prints and cards find a warm place in your heart!
