About Sarah
Sarah H. Heath (they/them/theirs) is a twenty-seven year-old freelance artist, singer/songwriter, and musician living in southern Maine. They graduated from Maine College of Art (now Maine College of Art and Design) in 2020 with a BFA in Digital Media and a minor in Music. They currently work as an administrative assistant and graphic design collaborator for Jacqui's Music Studio located in Cumberland, Maine. They are proudly autistic, agender, and queer.
ART
Sarah's visual art background began when they were in middle school. They were fascinated by animation, character design, and graphic design. This led to them studying Digital Media during their time at MECA. They are heavily inspired by Jamie Hewlett, the artist behind the Gorillaz, Ciro Nieli, the visionary behind the 2012 animated reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Ken Sugimori, the main illustrator and designer behind Pokémon.
Sarah enjoys doing both traditional and digital art. In 2014, they had one of their pieces displayed at the Portland Museum of Art. They also designed the election sign for their mother's run for the MSAD6 school board. If they are on their computer, chances are that Sarah is working on artwork. They are currently hard at work on a series of acrylic paintings that show secret images when light is shone through the backs of them. All of these works can be viewed here!

MUSIC
Sarah was born with perfect pitch and has always had a passion for singing and music. Much of their taste in music came from their parents, both of whom are huge fans of the Beatles. This led to Sarah's favorite band being the Beatles as well. In fact, Sarah's middle name is Harrison. Besides the Fab Four which has influenced just about all of their music, some of their vocal role models include Janelle Monáe, Weyes Blood, Ann Wilson, and Whitney Houston, and some of their other biggest musical influences include Green Day, Radiohead, Gorillaz, U2, Fleet Foxes, Beastie Boys, Arcade Fire, Barenaked Ladies, and Todd Rundgren, among countless others.
They began seriously songwriting when they were around 18 or 19, and have sung in their church choir for many years. From 2009 to about 2014 they were a singer with Jaye Churchill's Musica de Filia. They were also heavily involved with their high school's theater program. Later they went on to perform in two community theater productions at Lyric Music Theater: the ensemble of Catch Me if You Can, and Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. They can now be heard singing in the Senior Choir at First Parish Congregational Church in Saco, Maine, or performing with friends at the Night of Talent events put on by WandA Entertainment, also at First Parish Saco.
