"This female portrait uses multiple patterns to express adornment and enhancement. The Victorian fans are everyday personal objects from times before. I love that a fan would of been used to hide behind and the face here is peeking out into the evening. The colour represents a positive look through the darkness of the night." Roo Abrook

of history. The works often integrate original Victorian photography and vintage
magazine advertising, reimagined through bold colour and contemporary collage
techniques. This fusion of vintage imagery and modern materials creates a
distinctive artwork that bridges past and present in a unique, collectible
style.
