Again, I love the fantastic fairy-tale like charm, yet there's still an undercurrent of darkness and foreboding in her works. The colors are so rich and warm, and the way she renders the female form (especially the eyes) I find myself emulating over and over again in my own work, because I admire it so much.
I really dig her recent series, which are portraits of plants as rendered as female forms, and she has some works that are very fairy tale-like (or in some cases, retellings of fairy tales, like Cinderella). Definitely an artist to check out!
