Artist research - Alex Clark

Alex Clark is a local illustrator who was born in 1974, and was raised in the North of England.
Like me, she is an illustrator who focuses a lot of her work around the theme of animals, and harbours a deep love for the countryside, and the wilderness.

Clark is an illustrator that deals often in the commercial market of greetings cards, and I first came across her work whilst inside Durham Cathedral's gift shop.
Clark has been making cards since 1998, and now ships them to numerous countries worldwide.

Clark never studied at an art school, however she has a clear talent which allowed her to overcome the need for any training.
I really do like her artwork, and her style appears to have that children's illustration look and feel, one which I personally adore.
