Laluka Hamilton, born in 1997, was raised in the Northern Rivers of NSW, always surrounded by environmentally conscious people and influences. Laluka enjoyed a childhood of exploring the area through camping and bush walks with her family, all the while learning about environmental impacts and biodiversity.
Laluka also experienced her last years of high schooling through Rudolph Steiner education, which solidified her love for art and creativity.
She then made her way to Melbourne where she is completing a Bachelor of Communication design (graphic design) at RMIT.
Her talent as a water colour artist was noticed by the Author and these illustrations are the result of that collaboration.
These imaged are dedicated to her amazing parents who helped her through the process and continue to support her in all her creative endeavours.view less
