Watercolor and Pencil Illustrations​

​

Sara Breslin is an emerging artist based out of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Born in Warwick, and educated at the University of Rhode Island, her craft has always been closely entwined in the local artistic community. Breslin takes full advantage of mixed media practices in her illustrations, using gold, glitter, and ink in addition to her preferred watercolor and pencil. The resulting works are intimate, emotional, and often surprising in their use of the artist's materials.

 

Breslin's art is, at it's core, beauty sourced from pain - she cites her personal experiences with loss, addiction, and mental illness as her inspiration. Blending references to tarot, myth, and pop culture in her work, Breslin creates diverse and powerful images of feminine strength and resilience.
