Laura E Pickering

I was born in 1983 in East London. I have lived through the regeneration of the Docklands and the gradual introduction of the innovative landscape and architecture, that I have found very exciting.I paint mainly animals, as I believe they are my forte.I interpret photographs into a medium that I think will suit the subject, and try to get 'shots' that I think aren't the 'chocolate box' norm!!

I have only got one art qualification, and that is my art GCSE!! I don't feel ashamed of that because that made me want to branch out and do things my way! I am otherwise completely self-taught!,
