Audrey Kawasaki’s oil and graphite on wood pieces are absolutely stunning.  I love how the wood textures, sometimes tinted, are integrated into the compositions, making the surface itself an integral part of the piece.  The laser-cut pieces are also amazing, and I really like how she sometimes integrates flat, graphical elements (such as the ravens and feathers in Kazamachi) into the composition.  The subtle skin rendering, and how she treats her figures’ hair, is truly inspiring.
