About Lorna Robey

Hello! I’m Lorna Robey, an illustrator and print designer based in Leeds. My practice centres around handcraft processes and manual print techniques. A love of colour, collage and screen print drives my process-led practice, while a fascination with narrative, character and human behaviour informs my illustrative style. Specialising in hand screen printed textiles and papercut collage illustration, my work takes inspiration from the everyday; capturing city scenes and human moments and adding vibrant colour and found texture to capture the life of the city I call home. Whilst studying Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design at Leeds Arts University, I developed my love for transforming paper-cut collage into intricate screen prints. As a graduate, I continued to grow my practice and business, working on freelance illustration and pattern design projects with clients, and launching my shop where I sell illustrated art prints, greetings cards, and handprinted fabric interior and lifestyle products.
