SARAH LEE
SARAH is a self-taught Irish artist and illustrator working in London. Working full-time as a nurse and at a charity that runs workshops for people with mental health conditions. When she isn’t working or spending time with her daughter, Sarah paints every chance she gets.
Since she was a kid, she has made up characters and scenarios in her head and has always loved making art. She was once told by an art teacher that she wasn’t good at art, and it took years for her to finally pick back up a paintbrush and put those characters and scenarios down on canvas.
One day Sarah hopes to one day put out a picture book with all her beautiful characters.

About the FolkArtwork Collective
Not only can you shop original work from this great artist, there’s much more where that came from! It brings me great pleasure to introduce the FolkArtwork Collective — a phenomenal group of self-taught and contemporary emerging artists from across the globe. Jackie Bradshaw, Esteban Whiteside, Sarah Lee, and Noel Hatfield are the first artists to bring original artwork directly to the FolkArtwork web store on both FolkArtwork.art/shop and directly on Instagram. I am very pleased to also add Reneesha Mccoy, Jordan Sullivan, Gabrielle K Brown, Christopher Bame, Max Kuhn, Ben Gardner and in 2024, Melody Jean Moulton, Dinah Hanson-Carrillo, Lindsay Carraway, Kathy Edwards Hayslett, Lorena Eliasen, Mike Combs, and James Ash to the collective. More artists art continuing to join in 2025 including Des Moines own Alexandre Shiffer, Lesley Miserables from London, and contemporary visionary artist Linda DiLeva.
