Sarah Talbi is a painter, artist and content creator based in Belgium. She was born without upper limbs and has compensated for her disability by developing special dexterity with her feet. Passionate about languages, she graduated from the Higher Institute of Translators and Interpreters in Brussels, then embarked on a career as a translator (English-Spanish). In 2014 she was forced to interrupt her career for health reasons, however she soon discovered a passion for drawing and painting. She enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint-Josse (Brussels) and took watercolour lessons with Pierre Sentjens, who became her mentor in the discipline. She is also a student at the Watercolour School of Namur. In 2018, she became a mother of a little girl, to the delight of her family. Since then, she has combined her role as a mother with her many passions, including creating videos and content on social media where she is followed by more than 500 000 people. She regularly appears in the press and on TV shows, sharing with the world how she has normalised her ‘extra-ordinary’ life.
