By day I am a mild mannered graphic designer for a small software company. By night I am  a flamboyant author/illustrator of picturebooks. 

I received my BFA in illustration from Rhode Island School of Design and my MFA with a focus on writing and illustrating picturebooks from Goddard College.


My illustrations have appeared in the following publications:
Asheville Citizen Times , Carolina Arts, Charlotte Observer , Haywood County News, Laurel of Asheville, LiveValuation Magazine, Mountain Express, Rhode Island School of Design Alumni Magazine, SCBWI Carolina's - Pen & Pallette, WRE Magazine (C)  2007 - 2010   Copyright Lauren j.Patton
