Laura Tedeschi
is an illustrator and graphic designer working in the town of Brooklyn, Northeastern Connecticut, not New York City, lots of cows, no cabbies.

She studied illustration and printmaking at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, but had actually been drawing and studying since she could hold a crayon.

Laura worked as an art director for graphic design firms and ad agencies for more years than she cares to think about, before striking out on her own in 1995 to run T2 Creative, a studio for illustration and graphic design. The staff being mainly herself but occasionally includes her copywriter husband Paul and some dedicated freelancers / friends. Her background as an art director makes her very conscious of the clarity of a concept when working on an illustration. Fearing boredom, she has worked in a variety of media including watercolor, cut paper, scratchboard, pen and ink, digital imaging/mixed media and pastel.

She has sat on the board of the Connecticut Art Directors Club and has awards from the usual local shows, and also been a member of various local trade groups (Hartford Ad Club, Creative Communications Club of Providence, Independent Creative Club, Hartford Mac Users Club) and served on the board of a local cooking school. Her real passions are gardening and cooking, but recently extracurricular activities have taken a back seat to her latest projects, young children, Alex, six and Hallie, three.
