Laura Hughes is an award-winning and best-selling children’s illustrator.

She has created artwork for over 20 picture books including The Forgettery by Rachel Ip, and Hop Little Bunnies by Martha Mumford. In 2018, Laura won the Oscar’s Book Prize with author John Dougherty for the book, There’s a Pig Up My Nose.

Laura’s illustrations are loose, energetic and inspired by the natural world. She creates her hand-drawn illustrations using inks, but also loves working with gouache paint and pastels
