It’s thrilling when we get to shine a global light on Derby. CreativeMornings HQ in New York selected Carla Matthews to illustrate our cities theme of Thread, shared across the 244 cities and 70 countries.Carla said;
I’m a smiler, daydreamer, and doodler from Derby, UK - though, more seriously, I’m a freelance illustrator, community artist and the proud creator of Love Lalaland, a cute and colourful dream world where anything is possible!
Love Lalaland was born during my maternity leave when I realised I wasn’t following my dreams. Having always been interested in drawing as a child, I decided to pursue my passion and discover my unique style. Since then, I haven’t looked back. My mission is simple: to make the world a brighter, happier place through my art.Don’t miss out as we celebrate all that’s good about being a creative in our city. Join us on Friday 15th November at a free but strictly ticketed event from 09.30am at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
