Sara Richard Lady Sara Richard is an Eisner and Ringo Award nominated fine artist and illustrator as well as a writer of short stories currently residing in the woods of New Hampshire.
Sara has created comic book covers and book illustrations for publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Hachette, IDW Publishing, Oni Press, DC Comics, Marvel, Dynamite Comics; with other illustration work for DC Collectables, StormKing, The Witch House in Salem, MA., and Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. Her art can also be seen at the Historic Oakland Cemetery’s Visitor Center in Atlanta and has been printed in British VOGUE, Vanity Fair, and The World of Interiors magazine to name a few.
Her inspirations come from Victorian funerary and mourning customs, Art Nouveau and Art Deco as well as the history and eerie ambiance of Salem, Massachusetts. Perhaps because she is the 10th great-granddaughter of one of the victims of the Witch Trials, Margaret Scott? Who knows. As for the title of “Lady,” Sara donates to “own” small plots of conservation land in Aberdeenshire and Glencoe, Scotland; another place that inspires my art and where my mind often wanders to.
She’s as fascinated with painting wildlife and exploring its symbolism as she is with painting human figures who may have already passed on and remain in a liminal space. Sara is honored to have influential artists of all types in my genealogy and aims to someday shake hands with them on the family tree.
