Illustrator, Fine Artist

Laura Hines

Personal Website

I'm a fine artist and freelance illustrator available for commercial projects and private commissions.

I have always been intrigued by man’...s connection with other living creatures. My work as an artist and illustrator focuses on depicting wildlife with humanity, delving into the inner souls and vitality of animals and lifting these qualities to the surface of the canvas. I seek to explore and confront our own conceptions of ugliness, history, and morbidity, and the ways we project these parts of ourselves onto the minds and bodies of our fellow beasts.

In 2010 I received a certificate in Natural Science Illustration from the University of Washington, and was accepted as a Bartels Science Illustration Intern at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that same year.

This past summer I participated in an Illustration residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY. I'm currently an intern at Juxtapoz magazine, and I'm also the personal assistant to illustrator and Juxtapoz feature writer/online editor Hannah Stouffer.
