Meet Sarah, a Las Vegas–based artist whose work dances on the edge between beauty and darkness. Drawn to the eerie and the macabre, she creates hauntingly beautiful pieces that evoke emotion as much as they unsettle. Whether she’s painting surreal animal portraits or exploring horror-inspired themes, Sarah’s art captures that perfect balance between the beautiful and the disturbing.

Her creations have even appeared at The Hive Gallery in Los Angeles, and she frequently shares her latest works with her growing online following on Instagram and Reddit.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
