http://www.rebeccalardner.com/ Born in Swanage, October 1971, to a gamekeeper and post mistress. My childhood was spent roaming the glorious Dorset countryside, preferring to be amongst nature or keenly observing the local people and places that have fascinated me ever since. I completed an Art Foundation at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design and then a BA Honours Degree in Illustration at Sir John Moore’s University, Liverpool.
