About the Artist

Traveling to over 80+ countries, Sarah started writing children’s books and designing puzzles to inspire those of all ages. Sarah’s inspiration for creating the designs is meant to be something that truly makes people smile. She loves vibrant and cheerful colors and is inspired by the world around her and tries to take a unique perspective in creating the designs. Focusing on the little details, Sarah wants her puzzles to be meaningful to people and about subjects/topics that are relatable to people of diverse backgrounds. Many of the designs have come naturally to her and have developed over time. With every new puzzle she designs, she finds herself  growing and learning as an artist.  Art is beautifully composed of shapes and colors, and somehow on a puzzle, they all become a happy collection of pieces that fit together forming something much bigger than they ever could be on their own. Sarah hopes you enjoy putting the puzzles together and each piece brings a bit of happiness, inspiration, and passion into your life.

In her books you’ll find elements of her own travels and lessons learned along the way. Her wish is that you also find a bit of your own adventures throughout the story and continue to inspire the children in your life. Adventures, whether near or far, are what make us feel like we are truly living and making a difference by sharing our smiles with the world.
