Sarah Coulston

Originally from Teesside, Sarah Coulston describes her work as being weirdly beautiful much like the north where she comes from. Now based in Birmingham she specialises in print-making, mostly silk-screening and photo-etching.In September she won the 'New Talent, New Voices' award for her piece, 'Artemis, The Fashion Icon' exhibited in The Coningsby Gallery in London. She also had her work selected for publication in 'Images 30-The Best of British Illustration' and for a feature in Digit magazine entitled 'the 10 Illustrators to watch in 2007'. She recently joined Debut Art in order to get more commercial work though she loves exhibiting and is a member of the 'WSA' collective. Her main inspirations are the north with its heart-warming ugliness and the people she knows though having just completed a trip to Finland, having loved the country so much she is currently producing a series of work based on the trip.
