Sarah's Sketches

Thought I should I share this here too! Your kiddos (or you?) can now listen to my picture book, The Box, on YouTube. If you'd like to buy a copy, you can find it on Amazon.  Enjoy!

As much as I enjoy the social side of Instagram and Twitter, I miss the self-curated nature of a blog and the chance to ramble a bit. I also miss posting my art in a place that feels less dependent on algorithms and "likes" and what not.

Hurrah! I have finally opened an Etsy shop!
