Sarah Beetson. b.1981, Manchester, UK
Sarah graduated with a 1st class honours degree in Illustration in 2002 from Falmouth College of Arts, Cornwall, UK. She won the Pentland Prize for Fine Art, Presented by Wayne Hemmingway of Red or Dead, that same year, and was commissioned to create 2 giant paintings based on the retro ski and tennis origins of the Ellesse sportswear brand, for their marketing HQ.
She spent the next 4 years in London working in fashion, illustration and design in-house, first as an illustrator and graphic designer at Yellowdoor, the fashion marketing company run by Mary Portas (of TV’s Mary Queen of Shops).

I love how colourful and vibrant sarah's work is and how she brings the background into the clothes on her illustrationsshe uses dots of contrasting colour to promote the clashing effect further. Although the illustrations are very vibrant the hair always remains a very neutral colour.
