This year I was invited to be a part of the CICLA Original Exhibition where my work will be displayed at the China Shanghai International Children’s Book Fair!

The theme was 'Common Journey' and I created 'Journey to the Dream World', a series of artworks reflecting the young girl's journey from the conscious mind to the subconscious, where she travels to the Dream World each night when she falls asleep.

This is with assistance from the Sandman, a mythical character from folklore in Europe, who sprinkles sand into her eyes for her to fall asleep and take her there. Together they travel through a portal to the Dream World where anything is possible!
