Laura is a Birmingham-based artist, who predominantly works in ink and pencil on paper. She brings her subjects to life through intricate detail contrasted with bold lines and loose ink.
Laura loves music old and new and is inspired by icons of the late 70s and early 80s; her colour palette informed by illustration and cover artwork of that era.
Since graduating from the University of Creative Arts in 2009, Laura has created beautifully evocative creations for various clients and brands. She has also worked as a live illustrator for events at Selfridges and Birmingham Pride.
In 2024, she delivered a sell-out talk at Birmingham Design Festival, sharing advice and details about her process.
