Sarah Beetson

I was drawn to Sarah's work through her vivid use of color, her unique texturing and layering process, her dynamic composition---especially involving the human form---and her solid mastery and incorporation of art forms of days-gone-by. She is the real deal, an artist, as well as illustrator. With those qualifications---who else to choose to illustrate a story about the history of Wonder Woman? Sarah was in the middle of a summer-long project when I proposed the assignment, but she graciously accepted because she was excited about it. That made two of us! Sarah was cooperative and open-minded throughout the process. She sent along great concepts, and was aware of and adherent to our stringent deadlines. I could not have wished for a better experience or outcome. The illustration is an energetic and formidable piece. Everyone at the magazine is thrilled with it, and we certainly hope that we get to work with Sarah in the future.
