Sarah Bellum first dipped her toes in the waters of cosplay while attending her first convention in 2014 after thoroughly enjoying piecing together geek-themed costumes for her family each Halloween. Known for putting her own spin on canon costumes, her natural flair and sense of style shines through in her work.
She has successfully painted her femme Wolverine as pin-up and sent Dark Phoenix to the prom, with surprising and lovely results. Sarah has also put her talents and good nature to work by volunteering with Heroic Inner Kids and has given her time to the after-school Geek and Fandom club at her daughter's school. Sarah was also the originator and organizer of the now annual Cosplay Prom in Dallas, Texas, giving cosplay folks an opportunity to dress-up in both costume and formal wear to dance the night away!
