I’m Laura and I illustrate stationery, accessories and homeware for people with a love for the natural world.
Originally from England, I illustrate everything myself, working my love of vintage books, ephemera and history into the finished look.
My artwork portrays fantastical stories rich with natural details. Narrative and storytelling elements are key, whether it’s a single image of an owl swooping through a moody night sky or a series of illustrations telling the story of a tiny adventurer out in the big wild woods. Often these images are translated or intended for useful and often analogue objects such as notebooks, bookmarks, writing sets, planners and posters.
A careful eye for quality printwork, tactile and eco-conscious materials means these goods are meant to last and be cherished. A love of nature informs everything from design to production, a process that has been honed over thirteen years as a freelance illustrator.
I work mainly in watercolour, pencil and ink.
Designed in Eindhoven, with a dash of English essence.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication: Illustration and then emigrated to the Netherlands. I now run my freelance illustration business in Eindhoven, alongside caring for my little boy Q, and living with a chronic-pain disorder.
Ik spreek ook gewoon Nederlands, hoor.
Thanks very much for visiting my site.
