Hello! My name is Lara (she/her) and I'm an artist and art director who loves black humor, black coffee, and colorful characters. My debut graphic novel, Ronan and the Endless Sea of Stars, is the winner of the 2023 Graphic Medicine Award and a finalist for both the Ringo Comic Awards and Pop Culture Classroom's Book of the Year. My work appears in places like The Washington Post and I’ve been featured in The Wall Street Journal, WNYC-NPR, Kirkus, and more. If you dine in NYC you might see one of my infamous Choking Victim posters. I am also a creative producer on the Witch Wave Podcast, hosted by Pam Grossman. Hailing from Wisconsin, I currently live in Brooklyn with my almost-toothless chihuahua, Chuck.
