About Sarah Adams
Sarah was raised in Southport, a very genteel and Victorian seaside town and now lives in Hoxton, London, which is her home and her inspiration, because it’s multicultural, multi-ethnic and forever changing. She enjoys drawing her surroundings and the local children.
For several years she's been involved in her local TMO (Tenant Management Organisation) and has worked with other volunteers who want to make a difference to their area through better housing and services.
She loves animals, but living on the 8th floor of a tower block means that a cat-flap isn’t very practical! Still, even inner-city London affords a wide range of wildlife including foxes, squirrels, kestrels and a crow she's named Colin who visits the tree outside her window.
Sarah did her illustration degree at Hull School of Art; a post-grad in Illustration at Central St Martins and an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. Ever since her degree she's had a love for drawing and printmaking both figurative and landscape and enjoys staging shows in London selling her prints. Her first two picturebooks,
Gary and Ray and
Dave and Violet, have been published by Frances Lincoln.
