About/Contact/News
Lalena creates her work in a little cabin in her Texas backyard,
guarded by an owl, a skunk, a chorus of cicadas, and innumerable wolf
spiders that glitter at night.
A Houston native, Lalena studied journalism at UT-Austin;
and art and Mexican history at la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León in Mexico.
She earned her MFA in painting
at Pratt Institute in New
York while assisting world-renowned artist Matthew Barney and performing
as a rock musician. She later
designed for Blue’s Clues
and The Wonder Pets; and created information
graphics for The New York Times.
Now based in Austin, Fisher
makes children's books including the award-winning
Friends Beyond Measure: A Story Told With Infographics
(HarperKIDS); creates graphic design;
and rocks out with her
daughter as
The Mothermold.
She speaks Spanish, and is a member of the
Girllustrators.
