Making Magic Through Art: Illustration and Groundbreaking Picture Books with Laura Muncie (E118)
Manage episode 453577566 series 3588904
In today’s episode, I am chatting with Laura Muncie. From a young age Laura loved making art, everything from playdoh models to sea glass murals on her Grandparent’s garden walls. Originally from Scotland, she moved to Germany in 2012, and currently lives in Obertshausen, Germany, near Frankfurt. She is a children’s book illustrator. Her latest book, A Very Merry Muddy Christmas was released in September 2024. This episode is such a delight! Laura shares her path to becoming an illustrator, how she structures her day for maximum magic, and the surprising ways stay-at-home parenting equips us with a treasure trove of valuable skills. Her insights into indie publishing and creative collaboration make this a must-listen for anyone passionate about storytelling and art.
