Born and raised in Ohio, Laura Maloney developed an interest for art at an early age. Fascinated with the intricacy of nature, drawing and painting her surroundings quickly became an outlet for her creative passions. Years of art lessons and trips to the museum exposed her to the masters, while frequent travel inspired a culturally diverse palate. Landing at University of Michigan’s School of Art and Design, Laura Maloney joined the production team of the award-winning, 17-volume Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, and was later recruited as an illustrator. She soon earned a degree in Scientific Illustration and eventually moved to New York to start her freelance career. Residing in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience, Laura Maloney currently works at an art gallery and freelances from home.
