Clare Youngs
Clare Youngs trained at art school as a graphic designer and worked in the industry for some years before branching out into different directions. She has written numerous craft books for adults and children and more recently has concentrated on her illustration work in collage. She uses mark making techniques, pattern design, printing and painting methods to create her own paper samples to cut up and piece together. Her artworks, often depicting the animal kingdom are fun, colourful and full of character. Clare has a love of all things hand made and has always been inspired by traditional crafts and folk art.
