Meet The Artist

Welcome to the inaugural edition of my newsletter!

I created this newsletter because I wanted someplace to share my art/process/news and reach people that isn't at the mercy of social media algorithms.

For those of you just getting to know me, I'll give you my backstory! My name is Saron and I am an illustrator and designer. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY (yerrrr), graduated college with a B.A. in graphic design and eventually wound up in Delaware working as a graphic designer full-time but still illustrating in my personal time.

My creative journey since graduating college has taken me through many phases, comic book art, typography, pop culture, and horror just to name a few. But at the heart of it all it was a journey of finding my way both as an artist and a grown human. That journey (13+ years now) brings us to the present day where I've found my focus and inspiration to be natural science art and science communications. Though looking back on my interests ever since I was a kid, I feel like this was bound to happen. Art & science and how they interact has been at the heart of my interests pretty much all of my life and now I've figured out an intersection where I can blend the two. Its been challenging but also really rewarding so far. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to create art that I know going into it will be complicated but when I get out of my way and create it comes out even better than I envisioned. There's still so much more to learn and do but I'm really loving this stage of the journey so far.

As for announcements, my new online shop is now open! There's prints, stickers, and bookmarks shipped by me. There will also be shop updates in the future including some original artworks for sale.

Thank you so much for joining me in this first edition and on this creative journey. I hope you enjoy and see you next month!

P.S. I do check my inbox so feel free to let me know what you guys are up to as well! :)

May Highlights

A day trip to Higbee Beach in Cape May, NJ for shell hunting and beach combing inspired some quick sketches. I think my favorite was getting to see the horseshoe crabs up close.
