Sara Tyson

Since graduating from Ontario College of Art, Sara has worked for over 35 years as illustrator and graphic designer. This dual role as a professional increased her understanding of the function of illustration in communication arts and made her a thoughtful problem solver. Her figures occupy highly organized spaces, with shape, texture, contrast and colour all playing important parts in her concepts. Clients include magazines, newspapers, and book publishers throughout North America. Recognition includes Applied Arts Magazine, Communication Arts Annual Illustration Competition, Lürzer's Archive Special: 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide, Society of Illustrators – New York, Society of Illustrators – Los Angeles and 3x3 Illustration Annual.
