About Laura Coyle

Laura Coyle is an accomplished illustrator whose roster of advertising and editorial clients includes household names from American Express to UPS, Better Homes and Gardens to Scholastic. Currently her product designs can be found on the shelves at Target, Hallmark and Papyrus. For over 15 years, Laura has been developing her sought-after style working in Adobe Illustrator, allowing technology to become an ever-increasing influence in her artwork. In 2010 she joined the team of digital instructors at ReneePearson.com to teach Adobe Illustrator to scrapbookers and crafters. Teaching Illustrator classes online has proved to be rewarding in unexpected ways; “I spend so much of my time solo in the studio that it’s a true pleasure to connect with other artists online. Sharing digital skills ignites the creative process in my students and in me as well.” You can visit Laura’s blog at coyleart.typepad.com.
