About

Hello! My name is Sarah. I’m a Welsh digital archivist & analog artist, currently based in the US Midwest. I have been documenting my life through journals for 25 years. I started keeping written journals in the year 2000 as an angsty teen and dabbled with art on and off throughout high school. While I was studying for my bachelor’s degree, I was introduced to zines and became the editor of Artemis, the zine of the university’s Women*’s Network. After graduation, I stumbled across a book called Journal Revolution: Rise Up and Create! by Karen Dinino and Linda Woods. The book introduced me to the wonderful world of art journaling, and it quickly became my favorite way to express myself.

My journals have evolved a lot over time. In the beginning I relied heavily on prompts and using collage materials. Around 2015, I started making my own journals and decided I wanted to get better at drawing. In 2017, I took part in Year of Creative Habits where I created at least one piece of art every day. This daily art practice allowed me to find my art style and helped me realize I like working small! I now tend to create a lot of my work on post-it notes or in pocket notebooks.

My art journals are an extension of myself and a way to explore my thoughts and feelings. I love that there are no rules to keeping an art journal and I have the freedom to be my true self. Strong influences and common themes in my work include music and lyrics, feminism, politics and current affairs, technology, anxiety and impostor syndrome, grief, dreams, archives, pro-wrestling, witchiness, and general weirdness.
