Laura Darling

I'm an illustrator and I live in Dundee. I tell stories through pictures (and sometimes words too). My work is guided by looking and noticing, and my projects all begin life in a sketchbook as collections of drawings, notes and lists. The illustrations I create are playful and vibrant, often featuring people, animals, buildings, trees - whatever I happen to be looking at. I use pencil, ink and paint, combining layers of colour and line using traditional and digital print-making techniques.

I run fun, interactive, inclusive workshops that explore mark-making, drawing, collage and book-binding, and I love working with people of all ages and abilities.
