Laure Garancher

scenario and drawing

When she was little, Laure wanted to be a biology researcher. After a few months spent in a lab mistreating rats, she understood that this path was not for her... But it would take her a long time to find her way... First, she graduated as an agricultural engineer, specialized in nutrition and public health, then as an anthropologist, she left to work for WHO in Vietnam for a few years. Her missions then took her to South Africa and the Caribbean.

In the evening, when she took off her public health technical expert outfit, she started drawing comics. Her goal: to share through her stories a reality in the field that she had the chance to experience through her work. This is what she does in Mon fiancé chinois published in 2013, then in Opium in 2015.

Convinced that drawing has a magical power to convey ideas differently and especially, full of experiences of encounters made through her travel books to the bottom of the Amazon, she finally managed to combine her two lives by creating The Ink Link which, which enables to use art to accompany NGOs in the field. It looks like that she has found her way!
