Illustrator Lauren Reeves
Lauren Elise Reeves

Lauren Reeves has been drawing creatures since she could doodle on her bedroom walls. Having published works including "Andy in the Attic," and "Bob Tales." She loves to share in the creative process and has worked with many self-published authors to help bring their personal goals to life. When she's not in her studio, Lauren can be found at her artist booth throughout the year selling her squirrel art, or outside exploring the natural world for inspiration. 

I am a current and active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
