    Very nice. They are so dreamy but have such a melancholy edge to them. Lovely.

    I love the last one especially … how sad she seems … I wish her freedom from her sorrow.

      Yes, I think I like that one best, I can feel her yearning for freedom.

    The art and coloring is amzing, so beautiful!!
    I’m gonna try to find about her….

  12. These are absolutely stunning images! Thank you so much for posting them and the link to her site. I have bookmarked the latter for future reference … am completely charmed by the fact that she lists both Kay Nielsen and The Velvet Underground as influences!

    By the bye, I am writing a three-part series on my site about some of my most treasured books of all time. I posted the first part last night, and it includes images from the Andrew Lang “Blue Fairy Book”, George MacDonald’s “The Princess and Curdie”, etc. … thought you might enjoy them!! :)

    • Skylark said:

      Yes I did, I’m not surprised at all that you like that one <3

  15. *swoons* I’ve never seen her work before…it looks something like a cross between Edward Gorey and Edmund Dulac….
