Laura Nevill

Laura Nevill is a London based illustrator and printmaker who uses an old school technique to create modern illustrations. Having loved creating things since she was at school Nevill channelled her creative energy as she grew up into screenprinting after she left university and after leaving her dull retail job.

Further down the line, Nevill was lucky enough to exhibit at the London Illustration Fair in 2017 which has allowed her to further develop and expose her work to new audiences. Her lino printing process came from the enjoyment of creating something physical right through to the mistakes and unplanned successes and the serendipitous nature of hand printing meant that no two prints are ever the same.

Her typical style is characterised by cheeky typographic pieces consisting of sassy quotes that aim to crack a smile on people’s faces. Her more recent collection includes a variety of illustrations alongside type which is mostly inspired by people and places that Nevill loves, including the Barbican conservatory.
