Lauren Gorbould

BA (Hons) Illustration

Hello! I am Lauren Gorbould, an illustrator and artist based in Norwich, UK. As an illustrator, my practice is heavily inspired by colour, playfulness and nature; however, I enjoy all things creative. I am a practical worker who works both digitally, creating bright, bold work on my iPad, and traditionally in my sketchbook.

I have a lot of experience with clientele and commissions from previously working as a realistic pet portrait artist, but being an illustrator has allowed me to bloom and express my creativity in a way that makes people smile.

I have finished my last year of illustration at Norwich University of the Arts, where I developed problem-solving skills, how to interpret briefs and create engaging responses to subjects.
