The portfolio of illustrator Sarah Gooch

I am a freelance illustrator working in the editorial, publishing and design sectors. I use layers of collage, painting, line drawing and photographic digital techniques to build up my images and patterns.

Inspirations include history, especially the ever changing urban landscape of London, fashion, music, cinema, art galleries and a love of books and magazines. I love all things decorative, with pattern being a major part of my work. I have created textile print designs for Tickittyboo children’s clothing and design greetings cards and gifts for my Etsy shop.

My work is featured in The Big Book of Contemporary Illustration by Martin Dawber and  the Association of Illustrator’s Images Annuals 32 & 33.
