Meet Saz

Saz has spent 15+ years working and thriving in the field of illustration and art education as an award winning artist and educator. Saz uses illustrative storytelling as a vehicle for unlocking and elevating the creative mindset. Her whimsical illustrations have been seen on record albums, skateboards, billboards, product labels, murals, homes, and stores across the globe. Saz is also not a stranger to interior and exterior muraling, especially in Baltimore- a city that she calls home. She is inspired by nature, wildlife, humility, architecture and how the elements of our world co-exist. Saz inspires people to live life in pen-where mistakes are embraced, never erased and has led workshops for thousands of educators, students, parents, corporations, homeless/troubled youth communities, and non-profit organizations. She has been featured on TedEx, The Bespoke Diaries Publications, Empowering Women in Industry, and on NBC and ABC News for her artwork, speaking, and creative workshops. She uses all her platforms to encourage people to take creative risks and STAND OUT to acquire personal and professional growth.

As crazy as some would imagine, Saz believes that anyone can be creative-especially by getting lost in the process of an art form. Getting lost yields itself to life’s most inventive moments and if we can allow ourselves to navigate without a plan, we can be bold enough to take creative risks and land at our best destination. Today, Saz continues to inspire people to use their story as fuel for creativity, productivity, leadership, and community building in order to make positive and mindful changes in our world. 

Today, Saz is on a mission to create more visibility for illustrators by placing their work in brick and mortar businesses. She wants people to feel a sense of power, pride, and credibility while providing artists with a sustainable funnel of income. 

Currently, Saz lives in Baltimore City with her daughter and husband. She enjoys sandwiches, thrifting, doodling, being her own boss, and acting like a silly queen.
