About
In the Depths of your dreams, you'll find your ticket. Your ticket to a world where everything is possible. Inside a tent with naked bulbs hovering on strings overhead, smelling slightly of dust and clove, you'll be welcomed by a woman with an old top hat, and an eccentric gleam in her eye. "Welcome," She says with a bow and a tip of her hat, "Welcome to the place where Stories begin. Welcome, To Larlyland."
“Let me tell you a story...”

In a distant time, and a faraway place, There was a little girl, who spent most of her time in another world. A world of her own creation

And she decided that she was going to do that.

The problem was…

She also loved making comics, and videos, and designing sculpture…
And as the little girl grew, So did her imagination…
“Maker”
So she expanded…
She wrote Stories, and Comics…
And even finished a Screenplay, and was featured in Ladies Home Journal for her writing…
But her world was not limited to those boundaries
She designed clay and art pieces and public art.
Even designing a line of wearable art for the 3rd largest fashion show in the Country
And she Drew…
