She is deeply inspired by the creatures of folklore, Halloween, and pop culture. Her current long-term projects are inspired by and revolve around bestiaries, grimoires, and wunderkammer.

She is deeply inspired by the music she loves and aspires to create artwork for musicians for use on merchandise, albums, and promotions.
