Claire Robertson is an Australian artist and illustrator based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. She weaves the whimsy of her island life into her work, incorporating the local flora and fauna in her characteristic style. She is well known for her much loved (prehistoric!) blog loobylu.com for which she has won many awards and accolades. She is also known for her iconic illustrations for the Truly Tan series, written by Jen Storer for Harper Collins Australia. Claire works digitally but also in traditional media: watercolours, paper-cutting, ceramics and textiles.
