Sarah Bennett, also known as 'The Happy Snail' is an Illustrator, mural artist, shop window illustrator and surface pattern designer.

​

In 2016, she had the idea of creating fun and encouraging products that could be sent by post (snail mail) to bring a little cheer to the recipient, hence 'happy snail’. Snail also refers to her being a massive introvert who frequently needs to retreat to her shell to create and recharge.

 

Since starting her business, she has studied for, and graduated with a distinction, a Master's degree in Illustration.

She aim to use her illustration practice to make positive change in communities. Her work is colourful and fun and is intended to spread a message of hope, joy, faith and love.
 

She also has a huge passion for illustrating non-fiction topics for children, particularly mental health, science and faith.
 

Her Christian faith often spills out into her work, as does her silly sense of humour.
