Observations
A densely layered illustrative collage combines fine drawn lines, crisp decorative forms, and an abundance of separately readable botanical, animal, and costume details. Saturated reds, greens, blues, and creams create a vivid, high-contrast fantasy world where natural history imagery blends with surreal mythical creatures and ornate patterning.
