Artist Statement

When I think of Grimm's Fairy Tales, there are a few things that immediately pop into my head: Cinderella's glass slipper, the apple that poisoned Snow White, and a castle. Each of these items, while iconic, have also been used time and again. What I decided to do was combine these elements in a way where they were part of the cover, but not the main focus. The gray background is reminiscent of a castle. The apple and glass slipper were used as parts of the stained glass window that is the main image on the cover. — Teresa Lleras
