Born and raised in the heart of the scenic Kawartha Lakes region in Peterborough, Ontario, Laura also studied Fine Art at York University and graduated with an Honors degree in Visual Arts. In the past few years, Laura has enjoyed illustrating several trade children's books and countless school publications for subjects as diverse as poetry and math. Laura lives in the east end of Toronto with her husband and five-year-old daughter, and works in a converted backyard garage studio surrounded by a slightly unkempt garden. She enjoys the outdoors, runs often, and spends as much time as possible at the beach hunting for sea glass.
