About Sarah
Hello Art Lovers!
Visual artist Sarah Howell creates limited edition prints and textiles to give unadulterated aesthetic joy and happiness to your eyes!
Sarah began her artistic career in London in the late 90’s and soon became one of the most in-demand illustrators in Europe, a master of mixed media, layering computer-manipulated images to create a dark pop art aesthetic. Her surreal, ornamental artworks are in high demand across the world through exhibitions and private commissions.
Sarah regularly exhibits her artworks and silk textiles, has been the subject of magazine articles and her unusual paste-up murals are sort after by private and public clients alike.
To date, some of Sarah’s clients include Nike, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, City of Sydney, Penguin Books and Orange, Siemens phones, Bodyshop, Diet Coke, Vodaphone VH1 and MTV and the Grammy Awards, Topshop and London and Sydney Fashion Weeks.
She has also created campaigns for Nokia, Martini, Jameson, Procter and Gamble to name a few. Always in demand for editorial, her work has featured in art, fashion and lifestyle magazines and newspapers with clients always coming back for more strange and wonderful art.
All of Sarah’s textiles and prints are hand-numbered, signed by Sarah and printed in limited editions of 10 to 100. Each comes with a Certificate of Authenticity so you can be assured that you are buying a very unique and special piece.
All textile artwork is lovingly printed on the highest quality silks and cottons, and Sarah’s prints are museum standard giclee printed on 260gsm -300gsm archival matte cotton rag.
Lots of love,
