who am i?

I'm Perlucidula (/per.luː’ki.du.la/), also known as Pearl - an artist and creator based in Wellington, New Zealand.
‍
Many parts of art interest me, so I make lots of different things. Among my tools are ink, colour pencils, and paints of all kinds, alongside digital art, printing, clay sculpture, jewellery making, sewing, and more. My current artistic goal is to enter into a tattoo apprenticeship.
‍
I take inspiration from a wide variety; animals, plant life, people, folklore, horror media, music, video games, childhood books, Catholic imagery, all different sorts of fashion, and so forth. Exploring ideas of dreamscapes (and their nightmareish equivalents) is of particular interest to me.

As you may see in some of my work, I am a part of the ロリータ fashion community within New Zealand - learn about this alternative Japanese style, look at some visual examples of it, or - if you're an active participant - join the New Zealand Facebook community group.
