    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?
    Un-commissioned
