We recently connected with Sara Lynn Green and have shared our conversation below.

Sara Lynn, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

This past year, I was also fortunate to work closely with Afrovibes TV & Radio, where I supported program development and had the opportunity to design logos, flyers, and curate my artwork into live events. That experience expanded my creative reach beyond traditional art spaces and allowed me to merge storytelling, media, and visual design in a way that felt deeply aligned with my purpose.

One of the most meaningful projects I worked on was during Art Basel Miami, where I exhibited at Red Dot Miami and was represented by Galeria Azur. That experience marked a major turning point for me, both as an artist and as a person.

I showcased two pieces, both three feet by three feet—the largest paintings I had ever created. The work came from a very raw place and reflected emotions I had personally felt and worked through on my healing journey.

One of the pieces, titled Soul Burst, led to a moment I will never forget. A woman stopped and asked about the meaning behind it. As I shared the emotions and healing connected to the piece, she began to cry and told me she was currently going through something very similar in her own life. She asked me for a hug, and I gave her one, along with words of encouragement and inspiration.

That moment was confirmation for me. It showed me that my art is not just something to be seen, but something to be felt. While Art Basel Miami gave my work global visibility, that interaction reminded me that my true purpose is helping others heal through artistic expression. That is how I knew I was on the right path.

Sara Lynn, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Sure! I’m Sara Lynn Green, multifaceted visual artist I’ve been creative for as long as I can remember, but my path became really intentional when I realized art was more than something I did it was something I felt and something that could connect me to others on a deeper level. I grew up surrounded by creative voices in my family, and that early influence shaped how I experienced the world and led me to fully lean into my own artistic voice.

I actually spoke with you all back in 2022, and now, four years later, I have grown so much not just in my craft, but in understanding the purpose behind my work and the impact it can have on others.

Today, I create paintings and visual works that center around emotion, identity, healing, resilience, and expression. My work is not just visual I intentionally design pieces that invite people to feel something, reflect, and sometimes find a piece of themselves in what I have created. I also offer creative services through Designz by Linkz, including branding, logos, and visual storytelling, which help individuals and businesses express their identity with purpose.

What sets me apart is that I do not just make art I make art with intention and heart. My pieces often reflect personal journeys of healing and emotional truth, and I think that authenticity shows up in the way people connect with the work. I am most proud of seeing that connection like the moments when someone feels moved, seen, or inspired by a piece I created. That is the true purpose behind what I do.

For potential clients, followers, and fans, I want them to know that my art and my brand are about connection and healing. I create with the intention of sparking emotion, inviting reflection, and sometimes inspiring transformation. If my work resonates with you whether as art you live with or as a visual voice for your brand it is because what I make comes from a real place of experience, expression, and truth.

Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?

One of my favorite marketing stories happened during Art Basel Miami in 2024 and 2025, and it came from me trusting my instincts and taking a creative risk.

Miami during Art Basel is loud, crowded, and oversaturated. Everyone is marketing something, so I knew I had to do something different to cut through the noise. I made a flyer that said, “I know you cheated and here’s the proof.” Underneath it was a QR code. No logo. No explanation. Just enough to make people curious.

I knew people love drama and being nosey, so I leaned into that. I placed the flyers everywhere. Wynwood walls. Bathroom mirrors. Even the airport. Anywhere people would stop and look twice. At the same time, I was handing out four by six mini art prints so people could physically walk away with my work.

The response was wild. That QR code got more traffic than anything I had ever done before. It led to a podcast interview and opened the door to multiple art projects and collaborations. Looking back, I truly believe that visibility in 2024 played a big role in me being part of Red Dot Miami in 2025, especially since Galeria Azur is based in Miami.

That moment taught me that marketing does not have to be safe or traditional. It just has to be bold, intentional, and human. Trusting my creativity and leaning into curiosity turned into one of the most successful and meaningful marketing moves I have made.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was the fear of being vulnerable with my artwork. For a long time, I felt like I had to protect myself by holding back. I worried about how my work would be perceived and whether people would truly understand it, so I played it safe.

Over time, I realized that the moments when I was the most guarded were also the moments when my work felt the least connected. The more I tried to make things palatable or polished, the more I was disconnecting from the real reason I create.

Unlearning that fear meant allowing my art to come from a real place. I started letting my emotions, experiences, and healing show up on the canvas without trying to soften them or explain them away. Once I did that, people began to respond differently. They felt it. They connected. They opened up.

What I learned is that vulnerability is not a weakness in art, it is the bridge. When I stopped hiding parts of myself, my work became more honest, more impactful, and more aligned with who I truly am. That shift changed everything for me, both creatively and personally.
