I Am A Ghost And So Are You

I discovered only recently the art of Caitlin Shearer and I'm amazed by her work. She's from Australia and she's only 18 but she has a great style, a strong artistic identity.
Her dreamy girls remind me of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele's work, but there are also modern symbolism, poetry and a contemporary fascinating look at fashion universe.
