UK based designer Laura Claire has been working full time as a freelance designer since graduating over 10 years ago. Laura works from her home studio.  She works in a diverse range of styles. Laura likes to mix traditional watercolor imagery with elements of digital imagery to create rich and textured designs. Her imagery has been licensed around the world on various products including greetings cards, gift bags, tableware, home decor and fabric. She finds inspiration in the beautiful countryside where she lives and is a keen gardener in her spare time, often painting flowers from the garden as they change through the seasons.
