Of The Meowmaid

Watercolored by Amelia Royce Leonards.

“Her elegance serves as a sumptuous masquerade for the conflict that burns within her being. She at once yearns for the water’s shelter and flow while loathing being wet…she is plagued with a fierce appetite for fish while condemning her cannibalistic taste—a betrayal of her half-species.

Her siren stare and captivating appearance seek to lure her suitors into her sadistic purgatory of insatiable desire and impossibility—into the realm that she herself was sentenced to exist within.”
