2022 was the year I decided to pursue the dream and start my own art business LINGARD DESIGNS. Having suffered from hard spells of anxiety, art was a huge lifeline for me. Using bright and joyful colours gave me hope that the anxiety would eventually pass! Knowing how much art has helped me over the years I decided to turn my paintings into fine art prints with the hope that they will bring joy to others.
The designs are inspired by my trips through the beautiful Scottish landscape and are printed locally by my friends at BARE BRANDING (an open access community print workshop).
"My tutors at QMU gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself and pursue the projects I'm passionate about."
QMU has given me the opportunity to be part of an incredibly supportive community. From opportunities to apply for funding to words of encouragement from tutors who believe in my work.
