CK has been writing since grade three. She draws strong inspiration from dreams, history and mythology. Fantasy genre was her first love but she has explored outside that castle. She writes poetry and fiction of all lengths. Currently she is writing a novel. Her favorite writers include J.R.R. Tolkien, Ann Lauterbach, Diana L. Paxson, and Frank Herbert.
CK is very fond of Pre-Raphaelite artists, especially J.W. Waterhouse. She loves the photography of Julia Margaret Cameron, and is personally fond of taking nature photos. Her art is inspired by everything, but she wishes she could illustrate her stories like some of the magicians here on DA. In the last couple of years she has been inspired by trips to India. Her college art courses were painting, composition, Western Art History, and Indian Art History, but time will only tell how she uses this knowledge to improve and expand her art.
