"I am an Author/Illustrator currently living in New York City. I work out of my cozy Brooklyn studio, happily writing and drawing stories for a living -- that's children's books.
When I can, I love to draw on location -- the city never fails to influence and inspire my storytelling through its words and lines."

Lauren, your work is beautiful! You have such nice details and colours in your art. I am especially a fan of how you bring architecture to life! Very inspiring to an aspiring book illustrator!
ReplyDeleteI love trying to imagine the story behind your images. As a former elementary teacher who loves children's books these certainly warm my heart.
ReplyDeleteYour art takes me to the place, or atleast where the place looks like to me. Great detail. The first one reminds me of Sesame Street!
