Hey,
my name is Lara, I’m an illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany.
I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Illustration at HAW Hamburg.
My focus in illustration lies on whimsical and fun children’s books with distinct characters, for whom I like to come up with my own stories. To find my newest Projects, you are welcome to check out my portfolio.
Why Illustration.
As most artists, I’ve been drawing for as long as I can hold a pencil. When I got older, I wanted to turn my skills into something tangible and accessible. I began by studying game art, where I gained a strong foundation using a broad range of digital design tools. However, the digital space didn’t fully align with the kind of storytelling I was drawn to.
So I decided to study children’s book illustration — a field where I feel truly at home!
I believe, Children’s literature holds incredible power in shaping the young generations values, minds and creativity.. or just being very fun!
Being able to contribute to that through my art is so inspiring to me. With a deep sense of responsibility and genuine love for the craft,
I want to keep telling thoughtful, heartfelt stories for as long as possible.
