Her depictions of luxurious dresses and flowing hairstyles were a far cry from the reality of
her rural surroundings, but it was this outsider’s perspective that ended up being her
greatest asset.

the world. A website where she shared her mixed-media designs that incorporate everything
from paper, paint, sequins, textiles, egg shells, watercolor, marker, pencil, and any material
necessary to give her illustrations texture and depth.
