About me

Sarah Beetson is a British Fashion Illustrator and Artist who is based in Australia. She graduated in 2002 and spent a year gaining experience in London, working for Mary Portas, POP Magazine and Stella McCartney, before establishing a career as a freelance illustrator, and as a talent scout for Global Agency Illustrationweb. Sarah’s extensive client list has included The Telegraph and The Times, Penguin Books, The British Fashion Council, MAC Cosmetics, Netflix, Havaianas AU, Delta Airlines, The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian Mag, Ford Germany, and Perth Fashion Week. Her accolades include Creative Review’s Best in Book for Illustration 2011, and The Metro Award 2012 (shortlisted). Sarah has exhibited her art in London, Paris, New York, Portland, Ottawa, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Brisbane. She creates her illustrations by hand, using a wide variety of mixed media. She spends time annually in London and New York, as well as travelling in Europe and North America - with a suitcase of art materials and A4 scanner in her luggage so that she is able to work as she travels. Sarah’s art explores contemporary politics, celebrity and the perversities of popular culture.
