Lois creates illustration and stop‑motion work that blends character, craft, and narrative. Her practice includes hand‑drawn illustration, intaglio print, chine collé, mixed‑media image‑making, and animation using armatured puppets and textiles - plus digital frame-by-frame and motion graphics. She enjoys the charm and immediacy of analogue processes, often combining them with digital techniques to create distinctive visual stories.
Her MA in Sequential Design/Illustration strengthened her interest in narrative structure and visual pacing, and this continues to shape her approach to both still and moving image work. Lois’s illustrations often explore atmosphere, subtle humour, and the small details that bring a story to life. Her stop‑motion animations are playful, expressive, and rooted in the physicality of handmade elements.
Lois works on self‑initiated projects as well as commissions, creating illustrations for publications, campaigns, and digital content, and producing short animations for organisations and creative collaborators. She brings a thoughtful, crafted sensibility to each project, focusing on mood, movement, and the emotional tone of the narrative.
Her aim is to create imagery that feels human, engaging, and quietly surprising - work that invites viewers into a small, carefully constructed world.
