Hi, I’m Laura. I create charming hand-drawn illustrations for use as greeting cards, home decor, and gift items. I’ve always enjoyed engaging with art, which is why I pursued a bachelor’s in Art History and then a master’s in Art Education. It was while teaching art to elementary students that I really found my own artistic voice. Those young uninhibited artists inspired me. I would go home from work with a thirst to create that I hadn’t felt before.


I have since had a son and now stay at home with him and pursue my art. Most of my work begins as ink drawings in my sketchbook, which I then embellish and enliven digitally. I’m currently enamored with my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.


My husband and I live in Portland, Oregon with our young son and German Shepherd. When I’m not creating art or playing with my son, you will probably find me on a hike or a run, or snuggled in a chair with a novel and coffee
