Sara L. Jeet, who creates under the artist name MERA, is a Twin Cities–based multidisciplinary artist working across illustration, graphic design, and photography. Her work is heavily inspired by comics, gaming, grungy music flyers, and all things playful and cartoon-inspired. 

Working primarily through digital mediums, Sara combines tools such as Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator to create bold, expressive imagery that reflects her eclectic influences and playful approach to visual storytelling. 

Primarily self-taught, Sara briefly studied Animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City before returning to Minnesota. She is currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Design at Hennepin Technical College, continuing to develop her practice across both traditional and digital forms of visual communication.
