Nina Lutz

Nina Lutz is a Bay Area author-illustrator and pet artist. Nina spent her childhood drawing animals, doodling on her class notes, and daydreaming. Having earned a degree in communications at UCLA, she quickly learned her heart was not in corporate marketing. She then spent the next six years doing pet commissions full time.

Nina now spends her days working at a bookshop in the children’s section, writing at home, and illustrating what makes her happy. Her illustrations are hand drawn and done primarily in pen and ink. She loves to create illustrations starring cute anthropomorphic animals.

Besides art, Nina has a deep love for travel, learning about animals, and spending time in nature. She loves her goofy rescue mutt Rosie, who inspires much of her art.
