Sarah Nicole Kennedy (she/her/hers) is a queer cartoonist and illustrator who finds joy in unlikely places. Connection, nuance and determination are reflected not only in her work but in the ways she interacts with the world. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2022 and has been illustrating graphic novels ever since. Sarah lives in Brooklyn with her husband, cat, dog, and houseplants.
