Laura Deo

Laura is an illustrator from Salerno, a beautiful city by the sea in Southern Italy.

She grew up surrounded by books, colours, paintings and music. As a child she spent every waking moment reading stories, watching movies and cartoons and drawing funny characters again and again!

Today her life is not that different… only now she does a lot of compulsive shopping, too. Deeply in love with the work of Mary Blair and more in general with the 50’s and 60’s style, once she approached the world of illustration she never came back…

She studied Illustration and Digital art at “Scuola Italiana di Comix” in Naples and started working mostly at picture books and scholastic books. But she enjoys working for advertising and magazines, too!

She works with clients like Pearson, Giunti Editore, Raffaello, Mondadori, Arcturus Publishing, Eli La Spiga, Blue Rabbit Korea, Tiger Tales Books etc.
