Hi, I’m Madeline Lincoln, a Surrey-based illustrator and designer with a first class BA (Hons) in Illustration from the University of Portsmouth. My practice is mainly focused on printmaking, drawing and collage as well as digital techniques. I enjoy collaborating in teams, turning briefs into friendly visuals, and using art to support charities and community projects. I've gained industry experience volunteering as an illustrator for the charity Settle Stories and contributing to micro-commissions like posters for memorial art and posters for the set of a student film; I was also apart of the team to design my degree show catalogue. I love telling stories through image and am keen to join creative teams on community-focused projects.
