New Signed Artist: Sarah Demonteverde

Published on 21/03/2022

Sarah Demonteverde is a Filipino-American illustrator and designer currently based in the greater Los Angeles Area, and is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University’s Bachelor’s of Fine Arts program, having been a Fine Arts major with an Interdisciplinary emphasis in both graphic design and illustration. Having roots in the multicultural community of Southern California, Sarah grew up loving music and dance, playing classical guitar and performing as a Polynesian dancer throughout her younger years. Sarah’s passion for diverse cultures and history have grown since then, and have inspired her to create narratives as an homage to the past, while also instilling that same passion into those around her and the generations to come. When she’s not illustrating or dancing, you can find her exploring botanical gardens, searching for her next foodie joint, spending time with her big family, or hiking around local trails after a good coffee or matcha fix.
