Laura Hughes

Hello

I am the illustrator of Daddy's Sandwich, written by Pip Jones (Faber&Faber), and River Rose and The Magical Lullaby, written by Grammy award winner Kelly Clarkson (HarperCollins US).

In 2015 I received the runner up prize in The Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards for Daddy's Sandwich. The book also earned a Kate Greenaway nomination in 2016. 

As well as illustrating books for children, I have licensed over 200 designs for greetings cards, wrapping paper, product packaging, calendars and more.

When not drawing, I love to curate art exhibitions and invite all my favourite artists to take part. My most recent shows include 100 Cats and Call of the Wild, both at Hackney Downs Studios in London. I'm a big music fan and currently play guitar in a punk band called Thee Dinner Ladies.

I studied illustration at Kingston University and graduated in 2005. I now live and work in East London, UK and am represented by Arabella Stein at The Bright Agency.
