Sarah Dimond is the creative force behind the art of Cabin 13, the US branch of a proudly alternative franchise run by her husband — a business built for anyone who has ever felt a little different, a little witchy, a little rebellious, or delightfully off‐center. While he handles the back‐office and wholesale side, she reigns over the creative realm with full artistic autonomy, shaping the visual identity of a brand that celebrates Goth, Pagan, fandom, steampunk, witchcraft, and all things wonderfully unconventional.

A classically trained fine artist from Derbyshire College of Higher Education, she has spent a lifetime balancing the sensible world of corporate sales with the irresistible pull of imagination. Now, at nearly sixty, she has fully embraced her artistic calling — and with age has come a delicious disregard for how she’s “supposed” to be perceived. Her work is unapologetically joyful, humorous, whimsical, and occasionally dark, often featuring fairies, dragons, skulls, ocean creatures, or cheeky British humor that sneaks into rolling trays, coasters, T‐shirts, and resin art.

Her creative process is hands‐on, experimental, and a little mad‐scientist in the best way. When traditional varnishes failed her, she dove headfirst into resin — and never looked back. Today she works with acrylics, oils, watercolors, pastels, alcohol inks, mica powders, and glow‐in‐the‐dark pigments, often crafting her own molds by sculpting them in clay or carving them from wood. Her pieces shimmer, glow, and shift, capturing the spirit of nature with a fantasy twist and a wink.

At Cabin 13, her art embodies the shop’s ethos: alternative, inclusive, mischievous, and proudly offbeat. Whether she’s conjuring ocean‐themed resin pieces, crafting magical creatures, or creating something that simply makes people laugh, her work invites everyone — especially the wonderfully weird — to feel at home.

She also welcomes custom commissions — from portraits of people and pets to dreamlike scenes or creatures that look like they’ve crawled out of the woods specifically to ruin someone’s night. Working across acrylics, watercolours, gouache, sculpting, and resin, she brings each idea to life with the same trained precision she uses for her portraiture, landscapes, and fantasy art. Whether a client wants something gentle or something that feels like it might move when the lights are off, she crafts every piece with intention, personality, and the kind of chaotic Cabin‑13 energy that makes the walls creak even when there’s no wind.
