Sarita’s hyper-fantasy artwork uses bright and multi-layered surfaces to create a visual depth that is both appealing to our sensibilities and intricate to the eye. Her artwork also often explores themes of fantasy within the context of personal narrative and storytelling and has been described as having a storybook quality with a “child-like” spirit to it. Her interests include video games, science fiction, fantasy and comic books.
