Lauren Kelso - Illustration

As an Award-Winning Freelance Illustrator based in my Shop & Studio premises in Broughshane, my clients include Fairhill Shopping Centre, Galgorm Resort and more. I'm inspired by fashion, travel and the world around me, often using ink with a cocktail stick and collage textures, resulting in experimental and intuitive outcomes.

Through the pieces I am showcasing in the pop-up museum:

Blue Blazer is striking, affirmative, bold and poised. The strong pose displays a confident and self-assured attitude, reflected in the fashion choices.

White Boots is more muted and contemplative, with a softer and reflective tone. This meaning is presented in the gentler stance and deeper colours of the fashion elements portrayed.

"Both of my pieces are independent in their own right, represented as "islands of design." However, their individual meanings speak well to each other when placed together collaboratively in a symbiotic fashion."

My vision for design in Belfast is a creative and collaborative space where creatives support each other and share opportunities.
