(Artist Bio)
Reiko Murakami is a US based illustrator specialized in surreal fantasy art. Her work’s subtle texture effect is created by layering a variety of thin paper media such as tracing paper on top of graphite drawings. Often the image is finished with a white ink drawing of a secondary image that either emphasizes or counters the symbolic meaning of the base figure.
