Laura Barella

Laura Barella is an Italian illustrator who lives and works in a house with a garden, a cat, and a hammock. She loves to spend a sunny afternoon on a rowing boat on the nearby lakes and playing music with her husband. After completing her Diploma at Artistic High School and illustration courses at the European Institute of Design, she started as a naturalistic illustrator, her first passion. Then she encountered the poetry, the creativity, and expressive freedom of children's picture books, and that changed all her work.
