Overview
Hello! My name is Laura and I have been a professional illustrator for 15+ years. My artwork has appeared on numerous book covers, in magazines, and even an iPad game. Clients include: Celestial Seasonings, Routledge, Carolrhoda Books, Pearson Education, David Fulton, and Mattel. Additionally, my artwork has been juried into Spectrum, Infected By Art, New Master of Fantasy, won the Illustrators of the Future Grand Prize, and was nominated for a Chesley.
All of my images are hand-painted digitally using a XL Wacom Intuos and Photoshop (—absolutely no AI!). My work is known for its magical color, glowing light sources, and a touch (or perhaps a fat dollop) of the fantastical.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from James Madison University. My style and specialties are especially well suited to MG chapter book interiors and covers.
