Abstract
As children, our imagination is extremely vast and unpredictable, and the
books we read influence how we view the world. As we grow, many people slowly
lose the ability to get lost in their imagination. With Cleo’s Crown, I wanted to bring
back some of the magic that inspired me as a child, and the art is heavily influenced
by physical representations of magic and creativity. This project was created to spark
others imagination and remind them of their childhood. Even after the book and my
exhibition is completed, I am determined to share and hopefully publish Cleo’s
Crown. I am hoping that one day the bright colors and characters of Cleo’s Crown
inspires children, and they fall in love with the book just as I have.
