About the Artwork:
“In ‘An Unexpected Visit’, a girl encounters a monster that is both frightening and fascinating. It is a short story in a picture. The story is based on a heroine whom confronts the unknown with an open mind the way a child would with new experiences. Often times, things that seem scary and risky at first become the most worthwhile and learnable experiences. This scene signifies the beginning of a new and exciting adventure.” – Lauren Elizabeth Lee

(Artist Bio)
Lauren Elizabeth Lee (aka Byloelee) is a designer and illustrator living in New York City. During the day, she is an art director for a beauty company. At night, she tells the story of an unnamed heroine that undergoes fantastic hardships and adventures. Her pieces explore emotions and the complex worlds we have inside ourselves. Her characters never have faces; they are anonymous people whose identity is not defined by beauty nor notoriety but curiosity and self-exploration in its purest form. In this way, she hopes that anybody will be able to relate to her characters and the stories they live.
