ABOUT ME
LAUREN GORBOULD
​
Personal Info
My name is Lauren, I'm a 17 year old art student from Mattishall, a little village in the English county of Norfolk. I just finished studying my A-levels in Art, Photography and Childcare at Dereham Sixth Form, alongside drawing commission's as my job, and I wouldn't want to do anything different! I spend every weekend and most evenings at my art desk tucked up in the corner of my bedroom drinking endless amounts of tea!.
How I started
I've always had a passion for art.
I started to draw for my art classes, so my mum let me 'borrow' her old Karismacolour pencil set. I used them to death until they were all tiny little paperclip-sized pencils.
My Uncle then asked if I could draw his cat who then recently died. So for my 15th birthday, I was bought my own set of Faber Castell Polychromos which are still used in all my drawings and one of my prize possessions! Since the cat, I had other family and friends ask, so I set up my facebook page 'Lauren Gorbould Fine Art' too show the small number of commissions I had drawn.
It took about a year to get it totally up and running, and two years to what it is today.
What it's become
Today, I have nearly 4,000 likes on my facebook page, which is where I post all my updates, new drawings and the odd competition every now and then! I've drawn about 50 commissions since July 2017, ranging from dogs to elephants, massive A1 drawings to tiny A5 drawings. What started out and friends and family has turned into my drawings being sent worldwide, the furthest being Canada! I'll be soon applying to Norwich University of Arts, my dream University so I can continue with Illustrations. I've recently taken a love in illustrating Children's books, as I illustrated and made one, that my boyfriend's little sister wrote about her guineapigs!
