Laura is an incredibly talented illustrator, a great collaborator, and a pleasure to work with. She created humorous illustrations for a non-fiction book. She hit the mark on every single drawing. The publisher loved the results. The process was incredibly efficient. I would highly recommend Laura and will definitely work with her again. Five stars!! — Kevin (Real Estate Rescue book}

Laura was wonderful to work with and made our event unique with her skills. everyone loved the watercolor illustrations. She was very communicative and quick to address any of our concerns. I would definitely love to work with her again. — Angela (Fashion illustrations at private event)

Laura was very personable and communicative during the entire process. I gave her my thoughts and ideas, and she was able to understand what I was looking for. She sent me sketches for each one of my 7 illustrations to make sure she was going in the right direction and asked for my input. The final watercolors turned out beautifully and I was entirely satisfied. — Matthew (Series of engagement illustrations)
