Lesley Imgart is an illustrator/artist/writer based in Edinburgh.
Originally from Germany, she came to the UK to study for a BA (Birmingham) and MA (Edinburgh), both in Illustration. In her autobiographical work, Lesley documents sincere observations, funny conversations, and anything else that feels important.
She enjoys telling other people's stories, too, having worked on a diverse range of editorial, publishing and commercial commissions. Recently, she illustrated two children's books and a PhD.
You can purchase prints and books with Lesley's work in her online shop, which operates from her living room, and you can find more in-depth writing on her blog.
