I bet you've never envisioned Little Red Riding Hood the way Kelly Perry has envisioned the [classic fairy tale character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1). After all, the female protagonist is usually depicted as innocuous while Perry has illustrated her as an adolescent youth who's actually sporting the fur of the predatory Big Bad Wolf. I guess everyone knows who won that fight.

Kelly Perry is a freelance illustrator currently residing in northern California. She's an absolute force to be reckoned with in the [fantasy art department](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) as she's able to integrate a sophisticated elegance to her bestial paintings that isn't commonly seen among artists in the industry. She often renders [females with animal elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) present in some form in her compositions. Perry's ability to imagine such vivid characters speaks of the amazing talent she possesses.
