She/Her - Why did you create this work?
I created this after an intense period of commissioned work. I wanted something to share that represented where I was at emotionally and helped me cathartically. Through stylistic choices I wanted to represent a POV and visual language that is intrinsically mine and chose simplicity to rebel against the heavily art directed projects I had been previously working on. - How were your illustrations used?
I shared them on socials and my website. - What materials and techniques did you use?
I used scanned gouache textures and vector shapes made in illustrator and then taken to photoshop to create this piece. - Was this project commissioned?
