Slumber into the Shadows

Gouache, colored pencils, watercolor paper, book

This piece was created with gouache and colored pencil on watercolor paper and a book. My artwork is inspired by the magic of childhood stories, and the bittersweet feeling of growing up. I wanted to bring those beloved stories into real life, and recreate what it feels like to be fully immersed in those story tales. I created the inside of the book by cutting a hole through the pages, and pasting the designs inside. This process was a fun challenge for me, especially because I love experimenting with different art forms, and ways I can approach those concepts.

Creativity is not an attribute that some are gifted with or not. People are creative by nature, and are meant to create, even if it’s as simple as the way you like your room to be laid out, or what color pens you write notes with.
