Hi, I'm Laura Barella. I'm an italian illustrator. I live and work in a house with a tree garden, a cat and a hammock. I love to spend a sunny afternoon on a rowing boat on the nearby lakes and playing early music with my husband. After completing my Diploma at Artistic High School and illustration courses at the European Institute of Design, I started as a naturalistic illustrator, my first passion. Then I encountered the poetry, the creativity, and expressive freedom of the children's picture books and that changed all my work.
