As a Visual Development Artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Lorelay Bove is crucial in conceptualizing animated films from their inception. Part of the Disney Storytellers' art portfolio, she brings a fresh perspective to classic stories through her keen sense of visual storytelling and unique artistic style. Lorelay draws inspiration from Disney's rich cinematic history, reimagining beloved tales with her innovative creative approach.

Born in Barcelona, Spain, and raised in the principality of Andorra, Lorelay comes from a family of artists—her father, Quim Bove, is a renowned painter. Art has always been a central part of her life. She honed her skills at the prestigious California Institute of the Arts, a school founded by Walt Disney to nurture young creative talent, and quickly made an impact in both the art and animation worlds.

After starting as an art intern at Pixar Animation Studios, Lorelay transitioned into her role as a Visual Development Artist at Disney. Her conceptual artwork has significantly influenced the visual direction of films such as "The Princess and the Frog," "Tangled," "Winnie the Pooh," and "Wreck-It Ralph." Additionally, she contributed illustrations for Little Golden Books like "The Princess and the Frog" and "Toy Story: Ride 'Em, Cowboy!". Her work was also featured on the cover of *The Art of Wreck-It Ralph*.

Though often compared to Disney Legend Mary Blair, Lorelay admits she only became aware of Blair's work during college, having already developed her distinctive visual signature. Nonetheless, she finds the comparison flattering, remarking, "It's quite a compliment!"
