Lara Aitken

I am an illustrator working with various analogue mediums and print, such as mono-printing, screen printing, riso, film photography, cyanotype and more. I love finding textures and accidental marks from these techniques and using them in my work.
​
I have a passion for storytelling and love themes of nature and folklore. I love to create images that show the world through my eyes, finding weird creatures and appreciating the beauty of nature. I hope to make art accessible in the everyday setting for everyone and create a more vibrant and beautiful community by filling our spaces with illustrations.

Excited to work on projects such as:
Book jackets, internal book illustrations, picture books, artwork for musicians (album covers, posters, etc.), public art (art trails, community art, murals), publicity for the cultural arts (theatres, community venues and events), charity publicity and more.
