Sarah Nelson started her journey as an artist by focusing on oil painting but significantly changed her approach over the years. She finally found her footing as an artist after starting to spread happiness through her “Just Froget About It” illustrations, which transformed her into an Instagram sensation.
Nelson came up with the idea for “Just Froget About It” during a low point in her life, when she felt lost and stuck. She created this tiny frog character to overcome a creative block, and it eventually gave her the encouragement she needed to keep going.
“I wanted to make it something that anybody could relate to so it started to evolve into this thing that gave me encouragement to paint… The inspiration behind it was to keep me going and keep me on a good track with my mental health and wellness because I felt stuck in a career that I didn’t like,” she told The Curve Magazine.
Nilson’s Instagram posts will put a smile on your face, but she’s not just another illustrator spreading toxic positivity on social media. She’s on a quest to bring happiness into people’s lives, one frog at a time, and her posts are here to make you think, reflect, and decide to make a change for the better.
