Beyond her creative endeavors, Sara is a staunch advocate for climate action and women's rights. In 2017, she contributed to the group exhibition "The Future is Female" in New York City, showcasing her piece depicting a diverse lineup of women joining hands, prominently displayed on a billboard near the Manhattan Bridge.
In July 2018, Sara published her book "Botanical Painting," featuring her nature-inspired illustrations crafted with gouache and watercolor. She celebrated the book's release with her inaugural solo exhibition in the U.K., titled "A Botanical Wander." During a residency in Hawaii later that year, Sara collaborated with the local tourism board, channeling her experiences into four paintings celebrating the island's unique ecosystems.
The summer of 2019 saw Sara awarded an art residency on Governors Island in New York City as part of the "Our Future Festival: A Day of Climate Action, Ideas, and Inspiration." Here, she delved into studying the island's flora and fauna, creating a wall mural with an interactive "botanical trail" to raise awareness about the vital role of bees and insects in sustaining our planet's health.
Amidst the pandemic, Sara relocated with her family to Los Angeles from the U.K., initially anticipating a dulling of the famed California sunshine. However, she embraced the diverse landscapes, from desert vistas to snowy mountain peaks, channeling these experiences into a collection of artwork, including her first foray into large-scale canvases. This culminated in her inaugural solo exhibition in the USA at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary in Downtown Los Angeles in 2021. Sara also participated in a group show at the same venue in the summer of 2023.
Since then, Sara has remained prolific, participating in numerous group exhibitions across New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, and the U.K., along with showcasing her work at international art fairs. She has lent her illustrative talents to a variety of books, predominantly exploring botanical themes.
Sara's illustrations have graced the pages of esteemed publications such as Ten Speed Press, Magic Cat Publishing, Quarto Publishing, i-D Magazine, Flow Magazine, Origin Magazine, Candlestick Press, and Iceberg Press. Additionally, she has collaborated with esteemed corporate clients including Netflix, Hewlett Packard, Skillshare, Kate Spade, Bien Fait, Pilot Pen, and Urban Outfitters.
