LAUREN DUVALL
Then one day, I found a style that I was excited to work with. The style I found was highly inspired by the animation series Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure. The art in the show focused more on flat shapes rather than the use of linework. This dynamic approach helped me find my own way of working. After graduation, I plan on pursuing a career as a children’s book illustrator. My love of nature and fantasy has always inspired my work. I hope to bring my interests to the books I illustrate, inspiring children to go outside and use their imagination to create their own fantastic adventures.

I used to have the mindset that I should try to make my work look like something that would be displayed in a museum. However, it never really felt like that was where I truly wanted my art to go. So, I tried experimenting with a number of different styles. I sometimes felt lost when seeking my personal voice.
