About Us...

Sarah Lizzie Dodd, Owner of Shining Bright Arts, Crafts and Illustration in Cheshire.

Hi, I'm Sarah Lizzie Dodd — a prize-winning artist, illustrator, and designer based in Cheshire, UK. At Shining Bright Arts, Crafts & Illustration, I create nature-inspired artwork that celebrates the beauty of the world around us. My work combines original paintings, drawings, and creative handmade crafts, all influenced by my deep love for the natural environment — from rolling landscapes to coastal seascapes.

Whether through art, illustration, photography, or mixed media, my goal is to bring the outside in — capturing moments of calm, connection, and creativity through every brushstroke and design. Living in the stunning Cheshire countryside reminds me daily to slow down and appreciate nature’s details, and I aim to reflect that in everything I create.

I enjoy exploring various mediums and techniques, constantly evolving my unique artistic style to express emotion, movement, and story through art.

In addition to my personal work, I'm proud to be a Designer and Educator for Eileen Hull Designs, a US -based craft brand. I design and teach creative workshops using Eileen’s innovative craft dies, helping crafters of all skill levels create fun, engaging handmade projects.

Thanks for visiting.
