Sarah Elise of Filthy Freehand is a traditional sign painter in Milwaykee, WI, specializing in sign painting, gold leaf and custom painter murals. Sarah’s love for lettering, typography, and design stems from the degree in Architecture she earned at UW-Milwaukee in 2007. In 2014 she discovered her passion for sign painting and dove in head first, gaining as much knowledge and experience as she possibly could. Some notable locations she’s painted at include Dan Dan in the Third Ward; Fuel Cafe and Anodyne Coffee in Walker’s Point; Company Brewing in Riverwest; and Burnhearts, Goodkind, and Vanguard in Bay View. One of her most recognized pieces is a mural on the side of Fink’s in the Brady Street neighborhood that cheerily says “Hello Milwaukee” in bright yellow letters.
