Laina Deene
I am an illustrator and animator based in Sussex. My work focuses mainly on nature, location and writing, using books and places as a source of inspiration. I like to explore these personal themes through soft and naive materials such as gouache paints and pencils, or when using digital, rough-textured brushes to try and convey feeling and tenderness.
