Hi, I’m Lara, a passionate children's book illustrator. I love creating playful, colourful digital illustrations with a traditional and textural feel. If you’re a publisher or author looking to bring your story to life with vibrant, heartfelt visuals, let's collaborate and create something truly magical together!

"The Human Zoo" Project

Project for my BA Honours Degree in Illustration course, UK. Part of an "Image and Observation" assignment where I chose to observe the behaviours of visitors at the gorilla enclosure in the Bristol Zoo, rather than the animals themselves.
