Sarah Ushurhe is an artist, illustrator and writer. She adds subtle and intricate details to her work with pencil, experimenting with both animated and static forms. Her work has included unveiling hidden narratives, such as her GIF-style art history short 'Fanny Eaton: The Forgotten Pre-Raphaelite Model’, which aired as part of the programme 'Get Animated! BBC Introducing Arts’ on BBC Four and also online as part of BBC Arts New Creatives series. Her comic shorts and multimedia projects delve into sensitive topics that affect people daily, but are seldom addressed in mainstream discourse. Through her pencil-based visual work, Sarah highlights the interactions, patterns, and overlooked connections that shape human experience, offering a personal, hand-drawn perspective that digital tools alone cannot replicate. Her creative endeavours include collaborations with museums, academic institutions, and cultural organisations such as St Albans Museum + Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and media partners like the BBC. Sarah’s written and visual work has also been featured on radio, TV, in exhibitions, magazines, including British Vogue’s Gallery segment, and on digital billboards across the UK.
