OMG, so I had written to Cynthia Rudzis about doing my tattoo, because her work
Botanica reminded me SO much of Maria Sibylla Merian's work.
She emailed me this morning telling me that she would LOVE to work on this tattoo with me because Ms.Merian is ONE OF HER BIGGEST INFLUENCES!!!!!
YOU GUYS!!!!
SWEET!
She says my timetable is perfect too as I don't really need to start/want to start until around my birthday in January.
THIS IS REALLY EXCITING.
Thank you all for your amazing suggestions, there are a lot of amazing artists out there. This is a great fit though - for me, know that the artist has been inspired by Ms.Merian? So perfect, I can't even deal.
