September 25 Guest Artist Sarah Lopez

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m the artist and owner of Dragon Dreams. A cute lil business that seeks to make people smile through colorful and silly illustrations and ceramics.

Dragon Dreams

What started with a drawing on a greeting card, led to a comic of a blue dragon posted on Instagram, and has now turned into my lovely business of functional ceramics and many stationary and fun products.

Ghosting in a field

I’ve done illustrations pretty much my whole life, beginning with many unfinished sketchbooks and then eventually digital drawings. What came unexpectedly was falling in love with ceramics. I was comfortable with 2D art and 3D art just seemed too complicated for me. But after taking a class my second year of college, I could not go back. It was a medium I was not familiar with but felt so inspired by. So I started making cute ceramics that matched my style of illustrations.

I pretty much make all my art inspired by what makes me happy or silly moments that I've experienced in my life. Charles (the little blue dragon) was a way for me to start something that felt scary, which was this business. But through funny illustrations, a ton of ceramics inspired by chubby animals, and the immense support of loved ones, those scary dreams seemed less scary. I have many ideas in the works and I’m excited to see where this dream of mine goes!  

What I love most is the outlet that this business provides me to share my art with others. All I hope is that my art can brighten someone's day and for them to feel the warmth I get from every piece I make!
