I am an illustrator currently based in Edinburgh UK. My work uses a playful mix of hand-drawn lines and painted textures in a vibrant colour palette. A focus wildlife, places and heritage I enjoy visiting new places with my sketchbook, documenting different cultures and ways of life. Back in the studio I love working in printmaking, inks and then digital to collate my illustrations.
My work can illustrate across a variety of projects including educational, children’s, editorial, advertising and I am always keen to work on different briefs.
If you are interested in collaborating, I would love to hear from you!

Some kind words from previous projects:
'We commissioned Sarah Martin to design an activity trail for St. Cecilia’s Hall, highlighting eight instruments on display in the galleries. Sarah worked efficiently and creatively, taking our prompt and excelling beyond it - the visitors have enjoyed exploring the collection through her art!’
