Sarala was born in Sydney, Australia and grew up in Raleigh, NC where she spent her formative years. In 2015, after receiving her B.A. in Communication at Meredith College, she moved to Boston, MA for a job in marketing.

During the high peak of Covid-19 in April 2020, Sarala lost her job in the tech industry in Boston, MA. This sudden change sent a shock wave through her world. The ground beneath her shifted and for the first time in her life, she asked what was important to her based on goals and passions she was prescribing entirely herself.

Four months following the loss of normalcy and predictability, she felt her conviction building as she continued to prioritize her art. Through this, she decided to change the way she lived by abandoning the plan laid ahead of her by others and instead, pivoting towards a road with no map, guided purely by her instinct and curiosity.

Sarala now resides in Austin, TX as an artist and creator.
