ABOUT LAURA

Hi! Nice to meet you! I’m a lot of things!

I’m an illustrator, storyteller, SFF writer, visual communication designer, and academic researcher who is passionate about the art of storytelling in all its forms. My illustrative work is characterized for exploring themes like romantic love, fantasy, teenagehood, and femininity, as well for its use of dramatic lighting, pencil textures and warm, vibrant colors. I’m all about comics, book cover illustration, middle grade art and editorial illustration. I'm also a Philosophy students nowadays, obsessed with anything from Ancient Greece.

​

​In my spare time (if I have any) you can find me writing novels, reading fantasy books, watching a good video essay on YouTube or just making lists of everything I have to do!
