ABOUT SARAH

ARTIST & RETIRED CHRONIC MOVER

Hi! I’m Sarah Savoie, an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer based in Houston, Texas. I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and now own Painting & Pixels LLC. I’ve been drawing, designing, painting, and occasionally spilling coffee on my work for as long as I can remember.

I grew up in Wisconsin and after college I  moved 12 times across 5 states and 3 countries. Canada was the coldest and Malaysia was the biggest change to adjust to. Those experiences gave me an appreciation for new places, different perspectives, and the skills on how to start over.

These days, I’m happy to call Houston home, where I live with my family and spend my time creating brands, websites, illustrations, and paintings. I have this weird appreciation for organizing things, I enjoy the process just as much as the finished piece. If you’re local you may have even seen the mural I created at the Humble, TX Walmart.

Away from my desk, I’m usually reading self improvement or health books, practicing handstands, cooking, building campfires, or teaching my kids something.

I’M A SUCKER FOR A GOOD AESTHETIC THAT SPEAKS TO ME. I PERSONALLY AM NOT TOO INTO TRENDS AND FOLLOW WHAT MAKES ME FEEL MORE ME AND LIKE THINGS THAT MAKE ME EXCITED AND WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON.

ON PAINTING 

My mediums range from hand painted acrylics, watercolors and digital art. I’ve gotten the chance to work with our local Walmart for a mural and have recently had the chance to participate in the Bayou City Art Festival in Houston. I like to think of my creations as hugs for your wall and always aspire to inspire and grow. I like stories behind my art and uplifting messages.

Creating is everywhere. It is in all things. No matter where you go, whether it’s your thoughts, your clothes, your food, your art. It just depends on how much effort you want to pour into that specific item.”
