She’s got her head in the Clouds

Hello there, I'm Stephanie, but you can call me Lala. I am a digital artist from New Jersey and the dreamer and creative mind behind Universe of Lala!

My inspirations come from the joy of being a child and how wonderful it was to dream and get lost in one’s imagination.

My portfolio is a delightful blend of adorable animals and dreamlike creations, each piece crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. My ultimate goal? To bring a smile to your face and a touch of magic to your day. 

I’ve loved art since I was a kid, but it really clicked for me in the summer of 1997. My dad brought home this huge stack of blank computer paper, mostly for work, but he had no idea it was going to become my personal sketchbook. With what felt like an endless supply of paper (at least to my 7-year-old self), I spent hours drawing, just doing my thing. By the end of that summer, my dad wasn’t exactly thrilled about me using up all of his paper. Oops 😅

I create because, honestly, reality can be kinda boring compared to the wild world of imagination. Being able to make something out of nothing is probably the closest thing I'll ever get to magic. ✨ Besides love, of course. ❤️

When I’m not drawing on my iPad, I’m usually watching movies, hanging out with my family, crafting, or wandering around botanical gardens. 🌻
