About

Hello there

My name is Lady Sara Richard and I am an Eisner and Ringo Award nominated fine artist and illustrator as well as a writer of short stories currently residing in the woods of New Hampshire.

I have created comic book covers and book illustrations for publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Hachette, IDW Publishing, Oni Press, DC Comics, Marvel, Dynamite Comics; with other illustration work for DC Collectables, StormKing, The Witch House in Salem, MA., and Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. My art can also be seen at the Historic Oakland Cemetery’s Visitor Center in Atlanta and has been printed in British VOGUE, Vanity Fair, and The World of Interiors magazine to name a few.

Thank you for visiting my gallery and I hope you enjoy all the lightly- Macabre imagery I’ve created for you to see here. My inspirations come from Victorian funerary and mourning customs, Art Nouveau and Art Deco as well as the history and eerie ambiance of Salem, Massachusetts. Perhaps because I am the 10th great-granddaughter of one of the victims of the Witch Trials, Margaret Scott? Who knows. As for the title of “Lady,” I donate to “own” small plots of conservation land in Aberdeenshire and Glencoe, Scotland; another place that inspires my art and where my mind often wanders to. But mostly, I just like the way it fills out my name.

My goal as an artist is to explore my fascination with what might lie beyond the veil. To curb that intrigue with a beautiful twist. To me, history and art have always gone hand in hand be it in the world of painters and authors of the mid to late 1800s, to the Deco-age of the 1920’s. I am as fascinated with painting wildlife and exploring its symbolism as I am with painting human figures who may have already passed on and remain in a liminal space. I am honored to have influential artists of all types in my genealogy and I aim to someday shake hands with them on the family tree.

As Always,
Memento Mori; Leave Good Stories.

Thank you and please enjoy my collection.
