Laura Barrett is an illustrator from South East London, specializing in intricate and decorative silhouette illustrations and monochrome patterns from her home studio. Since graduating from University of the Arts London in 2007, she has been working with a variety of international clients, particularly within the fields of publishing, packaging, surface design, editorial and animation.
