Adjective: |
"Imaginative" |
Artists are a diverse lot: they may choose to paint or photograph, sculpt or sketch. Whatever their medium though, they create an image out of an idea, enabling us to see more of life than we otherwise would. We applaud their skill and are grateful for their passion and their talents.

How we met them: |
When I ran across Laura's bio and found she liked the same books, the same movies, and the same computer games, I knew she was also a potential friend. After playing telephone tag for a few days, we connected and talked over the possible project of a book cover. Still not convinced that our company fit her profile, Laura decided to read over the script for Daddy-Long-Legs anyway...she loved it, and the rest is history. |

Fun Facts about them: |
How can you not appreciate someone whose favorite color is Cerulean blue, whose favorite font is Elvish Ring NRI, and who would love to be drawing in the grand old Isle of Éire? I can even picture her there in the morning sunlight, listening to Celtic music and enjoying green tea with ginger cookies. Pretty exotic for a girl who got her start in Oklahoma City! |

What they have to say: |

Artist Bio |
After graduating from James Madison University in 2006 with a degree in Fine Arts, Laura's distinctive style -- magical color, glowing light sources, and a touch (or perhaps a fat dollop!) of the fantastical -- was unleashed upon the world. Drawing from a childhood filled with hedge forts and fairies, she employs her Wacom Intuos (12x18) digital art tablet to bring her fantasy pictures to life. |
