Heirloom Illustration
Each illustration is drawn using centuries-old cross-hatching techniques traditionally used in copperplate engraving and early textile printing. Thousands of hand-placed ink lines build depth, movement, and softness — mimicking the richness and permanence of antique French printed fabrics.
This process bridges fine art, printmaking, and pattern heritage, creating imagery that feels both historic and alive. The result is an illustration style designed not for trends, but for longevity — modern heirlooms meant to be collected, framed, worn, and passed down.
This technique creates work that feels timeless, tactile, and enduring — blending fine art discipline with decorative heritage. Each illustration is crafted to function as a lasting object, not a disposable image.
