Laura Murray Author, Illustrator & Editor

Laura Murray has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design. After more than 15 years working in the corporate design world she has turned her attention to something she loves and has been doing for as long as she can remember — drawing. Her new book, Amazing Alabama, gives expression to her art and to her love of coloring books. Murray found inspiration for her book in the region that she calls home — on weekend trips around the state, poking around its many small towns, touring the local museums, and more. She has logged many miles in the making of her first coloring book, her sketchbook always with her. When not busy with her illustration work, Laura enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, and two pets at her home in Auburn, Alabama. See more of Laura’s work at lauramurraycreative.com.
