Laura Garrard is an avid supporter of the plight of the orangutan and utilizes her talents to great effect through her artistic talents. She recently completed an Art Foundation Course at Lincoln College, gaining a merit. In September she is going to study illustration at the University of Derby.

For her final major project at college she decided to illustrate 3 posters on behalf of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, to help raise awareness of the desperate situation the orangutans face today. She found her inspiration from a documentary aired on BBC1 (Orangutan Diary). It had a significant effect on her, and awoke in her a belief that more people should be aware of the situation. Using a less typical approach, she decided to express the sadness of the situation through illustration. Laura has been using her posters and badges to raise money for the cause during her exhibition.

Here are three of her posters. For more information, please contact us.
