TARYN RILEY

Shocking Stockings

This piece, “Shocking Stockings,” is mixed media (graphite, watercolor, ink and pigment on paper). It is done in a more illustrative style than my typical work and I imagine it as being part of a dusty, old book of long-forgotten (or perhaps never written) fairytales.
