She’s a self-taught artist who got inspired in 2023 after going shopping and noticing none of the pillows had cartoons on them. Since then she’s been prolifically making over a hundred of these artworks. The characters she selects run the gamut from classic Saturday morning cartoons\, to modern Disney characters\, to obscure TV ads. Come by and collect one\, two\, three\, or more of these one-of-a-kind works of art.
