One of my absolute favorite artists in the world has died. I went to her site because I am ready to solicit artists for my completed series of children's books and of course I thought of her... her work inspired my own "Peculiar Girl" and "Peculiar Boy" drawings. I imagined her talent bringing my books to life and children everywhere losing themselves in her artwork. I am devastated.
Here is the excerpt from her Etsy shop:
