SANNA DYKER Sanna Dyker is an Illustrator currently based in Dundee and a graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. She says of her work: ‘Small things catch my eye and I can’t let them go without turning them into a story either scribbled as a drawing in a sketchbook, or written into some sort of narrative on a scrap piece of paper. I gather them all up in my head like a giant scrapbook, and bring them into my work, conserving them in some sort of form before they are past recollection.’ Her illustrations have been shown at Glasgow’s Compass Gallery, Dunkeld Art Exhibition, The Dundee Big Top Jamboree and have featured in the Scottish Artzine Yuck’n’Yum, as well as the Edinburgh Festivals Magazine. ■ www.sannadyker.com ■ www.thisiscentralstation.com
