Sarah Smart Live Event Drawing

With a background in fashion illustration, Sarah knows the worlds of luxury and beauty inside and out. She understands that they thrive on a sense of drama and emotional connections. To her, live drawing is like theatre – the subject is wowed by the act of creativity, and feels part of it. Her art makes a real connection that lasts forever. The digital world can’t replicate what Sarah offers her clients, who are often global brands and household names. As well as creating bespoke keepsake images, she has experience customizing just about anything you can imagine – makeup, perfume bottles, candles, phone cases, tea towels, leather bags, tote bags and more. She also artworks shop windows and tablescapes.

Approach

Sarah can work either digitally or using traditional techniques. She enjoys using a range of mixed media including watercolor, fineliners, inks and watercolor-based pencils. Her skill in working wet media creates an ethereal effect and sense of delicacy, with a unique, hand-made feel.
