She has since been illustrating happy realistic and
whimsical fashion all at once, it is her signature style. She has been using a several kinds of mixture media for her artworks which
is watercolor, ink pen, sequins, and
Tria makers. Firstly, she start off in pencil and then go
straight into watercolor and finish it off with black ink . I really love
how she blends everything into her artpieces by using watercolor and sequins.
It looks more realistic and exquisite!
