Aurora

$20.00

Aurora is part of The TopKnot Series. This is her story.

Aurora spent her mornings trimming stems and her afternoons turning pages. The flower shop smelled like fresh earth and sweet petals, and between customers she read—novels tucked behind buckets of tulips, bookmarks made from fallen leaves.

She was brave in quiet ways, like taking chances on unfamiliar stories and saying yes to adventures that started with Why not? When the shop grew slow, she’d lock up early and wander the town with a book in her bag, ready for whatever came next.

Aurora loved a good joke almost as much as a good ending. She laughed easily, often at her own terrible puns, and believed humor was just another kind of courage. By day she arranged flowers; by night she chased stories—proving that the best adventures often begin with a book in hand and a smile at the ready.

You will receive a high quality jpeg that can then be printed at a print shop. I recommend finding a shop that offers giclée prints to ensure quality and longevity of your print.

Additional Info: A giclée (zhee-clay) is a high-quality archival inkjet art print using pigment inks on acid-free paper or canvas, offering vibrant color, rich detail, and longevity (100+ years), ideal for faithful reproductions and limited editions.

The TopKnot Series is collection of watercolor portraits featuring people happily lost in their books—each one sporting a signature topknot hairstyle. The topknot acts as a fun, unifying detail, tying the portraits together while letting every reader’s personality shine through.

This series celebrates the simple joy of reading, cozy moments, and creative expression. With a heart rooted in giving back, the TopKnot Series was created to support art education and inspire future artists. Soft watercolor textures and lighthearted charm make these portraits feel warm, relatable, and full of love for both books and the arts. With the in mind, %50 off all proceeds are donated to The Macoupin Art Collective!

Every TopKnot includes a fun story that I’ve created for each character. Be sure to check that out!
