Sarah Yates

Sarah Yates, also known as Faunagraphic, is a British mural artist and illustrator born in Blackburn, Lancashire in 1987 and raised amongst the landscapes of the Calder & Yorkshire Pennines. Her artistic journey began in 2008 during her Graphic Design studies, where she discovered spray paint and developed a passion for large-scale public art and wildlife-inspired storytelling.

Over the past decade, Sarah has built an international portfolio, creating murals and creative projects across the UK and abroad. Alongside her public work, her personal practice focuses on nature, environmental awareness, and the relationship between people and the natural world.

Deeply inspired by wildlife, birds, folklore, ancient civilisations, science, astronomy, and the landscapes surrounding her, Sarah’s work combines contemporary mural techniques with atmospheric colour and expressive detail. When not painting walls or working in the studio, she spends her time exploring nature, learning about plants, and pursuing a more self-sustainable lifestyle.
