LOU READE ART

Hello!

My name is Lou and this is my creative mishmash of mixed media adventures!

I am based in London, which is a nifty little place.

I am available for work and exhibitions and creative projects come rain or shine!

It would be fab to make some more illustrations, so if you need some hand drawn doodles for something-or-other, do contact me!

You can find me on Instagram:
