Internal Assets
I’m Emmy Lawless — a fine artist and illustrator.
I start each book cover on canvas - no templates. My book cover design process is hands-on and emotionally rich.
Whether I’m designing for fantasy, romance, or contemporary fiction, my goal is always the same: to capture the heart of the story and reflect it in colour, texture, and form. I love creating original, story-rich artwork.
My artwork blends traditional painting with digital tools to craft illustrated book covers, editorial illustrations, portraits, and bespoke cover art that stand out on shelves.
My portfolio is built around emotion, storytelling, and timeless artistry. I collaborate with authors that are looking for book covers that capture the soul of a story.

My Work on Magnolia Parks
A defining moment in my journey as a book cover artist
I am the artist behind the official illustrated covers for the Magnolia Parks series by bestselling author Jessa Hastings, or 'Jessa's Version' as they've become known to be since alternative covers have been released. These hand-crafted artworks were created for the sensational (and viral!) Magnolia Parks Universe.
