Laurie Stansfield studied illustration at the University of the West of England, UK. She creates her art digitally using a loose line, lots of texture, and a limited but punchy color palette. The result is a style which is naive and fresh, confident and playful. Perfect for young readers! Laurie lives with her husband in Bristol, UK, and works out of an inspiring studio space which she shares with a handful of up-beat creatives.
