Sara Adler - writer and illustrator

I'm passionate about stories.  I loved them when I was a child, and grew up getting lost books.  My favorite artwork was the kind that told a story.  Today, I tell my own stories and even get to draw the pictures too.

​

When I was in second grade I tried really hard to put my spelling words into sentences and then to make those sentences go together.  As the last kid in the classroom I finally turned in my work, and my teacher laughed out loud.  "Oh, Sara, you could be an author," she said.  Until that moment I didn't know I really could do that.  The idea was born and I never stopped pursuing it. 

​

As I graduated from college with a degree in Art and Design, and concentration in Illustration, I set out to work in an office for a day job with health benefits.  On the side I drew pet portraits in chalk and started creating Christmas cards.  I am currently focusing on the stories I want so deeply to tell and in creating the art to go with them.  

​

I live in the city of Glendale, just north of Milwaukee, WI.  I live with my bird Beakers, a small flock of parakeets and finches, and my two guinea pigs Flash and Peanut.
