I'm a fine artist and illustrator that began her journey with a summer of drawing and exploring.

After a long and difficult year at University, I booked myself on a trip to Cyprus College of Art in August 2016 that would inspire me for the whole of the following year! Living in the outdoors, eating fruit from trees during sunset walks and meeting fascinating people during my two week stay left me wanting to relive those happy memories.

I spent the next year drawing the Cypriot landscape, rich with foliage in fine liner pens and drips of green seeping from the horizon. See my Green Line project here: https://www.lauracarolan.co.uk/the-green-line

Somehow, this style of drawing and illustrating my memories and sentiments felt natural to me - so I didn't stop there. Alongside this project, I set my New Years Resolution to complete a drawing every single day of the year. Over this past year, my style and interests have varied and I have loved sharing my journey on Instagram @laurcarolan on Twitter @lauracarolanart and on my blog here: https://lauracarolanart.wordpress.com/

These projects and experiences have spurred me on share my love of drawing and illustration even more - by setting up a shop of my creations! At school, all of my classmates agreed that when I grew up, I would have my own shop selling art work, cards, cute gifts and handmade products. That dream is slowly becoming true as I move away from education and into the real life world of work.

As my travels and experiences grow and change, so will my shop. Please visit again in the New Year of 2018, where I will be selling original drawings, paintings and illustrations from the past year.

Thank you for your support and interest in Laura Carolan Art x
