Nan Lawson is one of those artists whose illustrations can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Her work is inspirational, quirky and cute, created out of a little studio space in her California apartment. Working in digital, Nan seeks out pop culture for inspiration with characters stemming from fictional films, fashion, novels and songs she hears.
