Hers is a distinctive artistic style for body presentation.

As evidenced in her drawings, Ms. Reardin is much influenced by a

Tim Burton-esque imagery à la The Corpse Bride.

Director Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride

…

Ms. Reardin’s drawings accentuate:

exaggeratedly long necks

sharp chinned, heart shaped facial structure

immense, piercing eyes with direct, unblinking stare

single, slendered, outstretched lashes at corners

elongated / thin phsyiques without element of frailty

and body posed in awkward, though elegant stances.

Clearly a Tim Burton aficionado

Ms. Reardin’s creations also display hints of influence from

Tony Viramontes

who collaborated with haute couture houses and

whose works graced the pages of leading fashion publications.

Mr. Viramontes’ work were alluring, captivating, mysterious, stylised

as is those by Ms. Reardin

beautifully executed with an eerie quality of singular feature.
