Hi, I’m Sarah Allen! I’m an Australian artist, illustrator and author. My children's books—Busy Beaks, Jumping Joeys, and Incredible Insects—introduce kids to some Australia’s most beloved and iconic Australian wildlife.
Since 2020, I’ve led collage and drawing workshops at primary schools, libraries, and private venues, inspiring creativity in both children and adults. My workshops are fun, welcoming, and designed to encourage art making in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
