Sarah is an illustrator and comic artist. Their creative work focuses on both classic and experimental forms of graphic narrative and storytelling. Sarah’s comics are often poetic and autofictional, exploring themes of affect, loneliness, and queer desire. More recently, they have also become interested in drawing fantastic — or not so fantastic — creatures. Sarah studied illustration at the Berlin University of the Arts and is currently completing their studies at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig.
