Sara is an illustrator greatly influenced by the rural landscape of the Scottish Borders, where she can often be found walking the lanes, woods, and hills, drawing inspiration from her surroundings. Deeply caring about nature and the environment, she has a particular fondness for mice, birds, and dogs, though she enjoys bringing out the unique character of all animals. She loves the warmth and texture of pencil marks, which form the basis of her style and are often complemented by warm, earthy colours. Equally comfortable researching for non-fiction books or bringing life and imagination to stories, Sara’s work reflects both her curiosity and her deep connection to the natural world.
