Sara Midda


Sara Midda was born in Brighton in 1951. She studied at Goldsmiths College and St Martin's School of Art. Her watercolours and etchings have been regularly shown in London galleries, but Sara Midda is best known for the book she wrote and illustrated, In and Out of the Garden. The result of three years' work, it has been a best seller and made immediately recognisable her characteristic style, mixing illustration with hand lettering. In 1982 she was awarded the Francis Williams prize for book illustration.
