A course by Sarah King
Ever since she was a young child, Sarah King has been exposed to the world of prose, words, and design, growing up with a writer and an architect. After graduating in graphic design at the University of Brighton in 2008, Sarah took these two passions even further, illustrating with words became her iconic style, which led her to work for the New York Times, National Geographic, Vice, The Guardian, the SFMOMA museum and much more.
Today, Sarah shares her time between the mountain and the sea in British Columbia (Canada), combining her passion for nature and illustrating with words into her work. Constantly exploring new ways to transmit her art, Sarah also illustrates on different supports such as snowboards, wood, and textiles.
