Sarah Cho

Published on 21/03/2022

Sarah grew up in the crowded city of Los Angeles and has enjoyed drawing ever since she could hold a crayon. Her passion for bringing her artistic and fanciful visions to life may have started from a book containing a collection of beautifully illustrated fairy tales. That book is long gone, but she still remembers the graceful mermaids, the whimsical candyland, and the striking contrast of Snow White’s black hair and fair skin. If there is anything that would bring joy, it would be to share her vision withthe world and recreate what she had lost. Sarah graduated from California State University Long Beach with a BFA in Illustration and a minor in creative writing. She specializes in digital painting but has had experience with traditional mediums such asacrylic, gouache, and colored pencils. She enjoys playing video games, eating delicious ramen, and listening to upbeat EDM music
