Hi, I’m Luisa! An artist and illustrator from Bielefeld, Germany, with more than 15 years of experience in art and illustration.

I began my career in 2011 as a fantasy illustrator, dabbling in different industries (comics, pen-and-paper, games) before finding my passion in painting fantasy book covers and trading card games. Some highlights of my career include illustrating for my favorite author, Ilona Andrews, and contributing artwork to Magic: The Gathering in their Universes Beyond sets such as Doctor Who, Assassin’s Creed, Final Fantasy, and more. In 2023, I was honored with the Chesley Award for Best Cover: Paperback or E-Book for my work with fantasy author Rachel Aaron.

Today, I continue to illustrate book covers and TCG art, so if you’d like to collaborate on a project, feel free to reach out at info(at)luisapreissler.de.

In recent years, I’ve also found new inspiration in traditional media. In 2023, I began exploring gouache painting, focusing on landscapes, nature, and flowers. This return to hands-on painting rekindled my creative spark and led to my first exhibitions at Open Ateliers Bielefeld. Wanting to share this joy with others, I created a gouache course where I guide artists of all levels to improve their skills and experience the meditative beauty of painting with gouache.
