Louisa Dalton

Art and Design has been an intrinsic part of my life since I was very young. I have always felt the need to scribble, to sketch, to express and communicate my ideas through drawing and creativity. Therefore, I am foremost an illustrator, particularly specialising in children's book artwork. I get the most satisfaction from being 'hands-on' and working with paints, charcoal and fine liners, but I think my best work is always achieved using simply a pencil and paper. I love drawing what I can see in front of me, then using my imagination to add a different perspective. I am inspired by my family, nature and the busy world we live in.
