Contacting Age Uk

Hello!

 I am currently studying Illustration at Leeds Collage of Art and complete my course in June this year.

The work you are doing to combat loneliness amongst the elderly generation is something  close to my heart, and is what i am focusing my Final Major project on

I am creating a number of portrait illustrations inspired by the elderly people I have met and talked to during this project, aiming to personalise and give each illustration an authentic, individualised tone of voice, representative of the person. I hope this will reinforce the interesting and diverse lives these people have had, and eliminate the common perception that all elderly people are the same.

Is their anything you are working on at the moment or in the future that my illustrative and documentary approach could be applied to? 

If you are interested in my work, I have attached an idea development board of illustrations I am currently working on for my final major project, along with a piece i produced for a Amnesty International Campaign poster. 

If you'd like more information about me (CV etc) or my work (portfolio), please get in touch or visit http://rebeccawilliamsonillustration.com/

Thanks for your time; I look forward to hearing from you,

Rebecca

unfortunately, as there was not a direct email address to contact and just a general enquiries form, i was not able to add images or links to my website - so instead i edited the email and send the one below.
