About this series

A little fairy-tale universe that ran through my student years: three chapter dividers painted for my portfolio (magenta for graphic design, purple for a Cinderella losing her heel, teal for digital painting), Martina the elf from my 2018 website's key visual, two flower pieces — one of them insisting "I'm only a flower" — and a melancholy flat-style mermaid.

The series

Teal-and-blue flat illustration of a long-haired girl in a rabbit-themed dress spreading her skirt, with circles, a small rabbit vignette and characters for digital painting
