I create jewlery, traditional prints, illustrations, and comics. My current interest is exploring gender through the lense of fairy tales, folk art, and historical fashion. My work is intended to show the distance of time and the handmade quality of older forms of art. However, I also seek to reconnect current audiences using strong narratives and moods.
