Sarah Crumb is a lifelong Seattle area resident who loves to combine her interests of wildlife and fantasy to create intricate drawings and colorful paintings. Her favorite natural subjects are birds, which she spends time delicately representing in ink and watercolors. Inspiration sparks her with frequent trips to low tide on Edmonds beach, to local zoos, aquariums, art, and natural history museums, dressing up in closet cosplay to attend as many comic cons as possible, and listening to very loud music on her headphones while working on art.
Sarah’s background reflects these particular interests: An undergraduate degree in Art History has helped cement a lifelong love of close inspection of art of all kinds. A Masters in Zoology where she honed skills in utilizing scientific inquiry to question and closely observe the natural world. Volunteering at Woodland Park Zoo in the waterfowl department brought her up close and personal with a wide variety of birds (and red pandas!) And finally a lifetime of devouring fantasy media from Tolkien books to Marvel movies has provided an extensive library of popular culture to draw from.
She currently lives with her family and pets in Bothell, WA.
