Often incorporating a red hood many of American illustrator Kathleen Lolley's works seem to derive inspiration from folk tales. 

I derive visual inspiration from nature, poetry, philosophy & music and seek to synthesize these elements in my work. My visual style is an organic mix of surrealism and folk art. A wide variety of mediums are used; including acrylic, oil, paper-mache, gouache, mixed -media and collage. I strive to allow enough ambiguity for the viewer to draw upon their own imagination to create their own interpretation. Kathleen Lolley
