Sadie Levine is an Illustrator and Arts Educator currently pursuing an MFA in Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. She holds a B.Sc. in Psychology and a B.Ed. in Primary/Junior Education.
Through her artwork, Sadie constructs a world infused with magic and wonder, drawing things how her inner child sees them. While the childhood imagination is capable of producing enchanting imagery, there is another side to it. Children often fear imaginary forces of darkness and evil. Sadie considers this duality in her work, interested in the tension created when whimsical aesthetics coincide with darker themes and imagery. All her work is hand drawn in marker and pen, then scanned and digitally manipulated in Photoshop.
Sadie has worked as an editorial illustrator and has self-published three zines. She is the recipient of the Grand Purchase Prize from the 10th Baker & Whitehill Student Artist's Book Contest and a Gold Medal in the Scholastic Art & Writing Contest.
Sadie is currently available for freelance work. Please get in touch with her using the form under “contact”.
