| Sarah Zamora is the zany artist behind the each 'Original Youth' creation. Married to J, and the mother of super kiddos Sophia & Diego, she turned a hobby into a business when crafting handmade gifts for friends and family became a hot commodity. 'Original Youth' was developed as she was inspired by the friends that surround her and the fun, simple things they love. She is a self-taught artist; she relies on her instincts, feelings, emotions, whims, visions, and individual viewpoint to guide her creations. Her unique, whimsical style is a combination of an active imagination, zany personality, and a bit of manic energy. All of this lends to a fantastical blend of creative talent, which she uses to make art and crafts of all kinds. While her creative skillset is varied, she is primarily a painter; her works grace the walls of homes and businesses in more than 30 states, and 10 countries. Check out some current art for sale in her ETSY shop, www.originalyouth.etsy.com In the real world, Sarah's role as an artist comes third, after her primary duties as wife, and mother to 2 energetic kiddos. 'Original Youth' is based in Fort Worth, Texas. Contact Sarah directly at Sarah AT original youth DOT com. Proud charter Member of both illustratedatcs.com and ATCsforALL.com, where she swaps Mail Art. |
