Inspiration
She draws her artistic inspiration from either reality or her imagination. Her favorite artists and illustrators include Beatrix Potter, Norman Rockwell, Charles Dana Gibson, Tasha Tudor, Wesley Dennis, and Mary Engelbreit. (And of course, most all of the old masters.)

Her love of all living things is apparent in her artwork. Sarah truly enjoys the beauty of God's creation, be it a blooming flower, a singing bird or a child with his favorite pet. Sarah wishes to credit the Lord for all she has (and will) accomplish.
