About Laura Buchanan Designs

Donegal artist Laura Buchanan has been quietly creating designs and print work since she was a young girl growing up in the heritage town of Ramelton, Co. Donegal. Laura has always had a huge affection for old-fashioned quality, mainly because she grew up above her family's grocery and hardware shop, which served as one of the centre-points in the town from 1907 to the early 1980’s. Although the store closed its doors before she was born, Laura has long been fascinated by the remaining objects, advertisements, and living history of the shop and this has inspired her work ever since.
