In this week's episode Elizabeth and Amelia interview Sarah Hwang, a picture book author-illustrator with a sweet, colorful and hilarious artistic voice. She has written and illustrated Toasty (2021) and Bunny Hop, coming in 2025, as well as illustrated illustrator of Nom Nom Nom by Jeffrey Burton. She graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2017 and has been living in New Jersey ever since. In this episode, we discuss being true to yourself, creating work in your own authentic style, and creating to make yourself happy.
