Student approached by American author

An A-level art student from North Liverpool Academy has been approached by an American author to help illustrate a new book.

Lauren Moore Williams, a Year 12 student, was approached by author Wendy Schoeppner to illustrate her first spiritualist publication.

Wendy caught the eye of Lauren’s work during her exam online and made direct contact with her.

Lauren’s final exam piece demonstrated her artistic style that appealed to the author.

Lauren will create original work for the book later this year.

Lauren said: “I am still in shock. I still can’t quite believe some of the conversations that have taken place”.

Miss Donnelly, art teacher at North Liverpool Academy said: “This is a hugely exiting opportunity for Lauren, and a valuable lesson to all art students in the power of the internet in reaching a wider audience beyond our community”.
