Illustrated caricature of Sarah Adams in her art classroom

Hello, I’m Sarah.

I’m a British artist and art educator currently based in Shanghai. Before teaching, I worked in graphic design and illustration in London, New York and San Francisco.

Today, I teach across secondary and post-16 pathways while maintaining a personal practice in painting, printmaking and ceramics.

This website brings together studio work, teaching resources and occasional reflections from the classroom.
