PAOLA LAZCANO

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work, which encompasses Graphic and Multimedia Design as well as dabbling in Illustration and photography, has been described as being stylistically original, illustrative and contemporary.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Chile (SA) though I grew up in Scotland my work has recently been influenced by a new wave of emerging Latin American designers through my expressive use of colour -though my style is very much my own. Having gained a BA (Hons) Visual Communications from Leeds University I then moved up to Edinburgh whereupon I decided to embark on an MSc Multimedia Technology course at Napier University. I am one half of Designers on the Run - a new Graphic and Multimedia design practice based here in Edinburgh. (www.designersontherun.com)
