Laurie Stansfield has worked as a freelancer since graduating in 2010, but only recently arrived at where she feels most at home - illustrating children's picture books. She creates her art digitally using a loose line, lots of texture and a limited but punchy colour palette. Laurie lives with her husband in Bristol, and works out of an inspiring studio space which she shares with a handful of up-beat creatives. Her clients include Scriberia, Frances Lincoln, Tuesday's Child, The Met Office, cBeebies and Penguin Random House.
