Audrey Kawasaki

Just came upon this really beautiful work by an artist named Audrey Kawasaki.

She has an incredible style that seems to mix anime portraiture with an art nouveau romanticism. Her paintings are done on wood, and the wood grain becomes a wonderful part of the art. Her illustrations, both digital and ink on paper, take on a surrealist bent which comes off quite playful.

She has a new show opening tomorrow in Seatle and running until August 5th.
