This is like Gustav Klimt meets Wangechi Mutu. I love it- thanks for sharing!

"Gustav Klimt meets Wangechi Mutu"

I'd like to see that! (If we haven't already, at least the Mutu meets Klimt angle.)

THIS seems a bit more like Arthur Rackham meets Edmund Dulac, don't you think? Would definitely like to see more of her work…

Her works is out there, it's a bit cutesy on the whole. She was of the same generation as the better known illustrators such as Margaret and Frances Mackintosh and Jessie M. King who are in all honesty far superior. Ophelia is an interesting work though.
