About me
Lara’s style is truly individual. Finding beauty in the strange and unusual, her work plays with the concept of mirroring the light and dark in life. She works mainly in black and white and in a variety of mediums - her fine-liner pieces are particularly skilled and intricate. Lara takes her inspiration from her surroundings and explores issues of mental health and female equality. larahanford@hotmail.co.uk

  • Circles
    CirclesIn this small self led project I wanted to visually communicate how it feels to deal with mental health issues. The illustrations are set in space and at sea to convey isolation. I wanted the viewer to experience the emotions felt by the characters and be able to relate to them.
