Talented Artist Creates Magical Series Of 11 Disney Princess Silhouettes

Katie Simpson, known online as Redhead-K, has built a loyal following with Disney-inspired artwork that feels playful, detailed, and full of personality. From petal-covered princess portraits to intricate silhouette pieces, her work shows just how far a fan artist can take a favorite theme.

In this collection, she turns Disney princesses into elegant silhouettes, adding hidden Mickeys and plenty of charm along the way. The result is a series that feels both delicate and instantly recognizable, which is exactly why it stands out.

Here’s a closer look at the princess series and a few more of her standout creations.

Artist Redhead-K is a jack of all trades, able to create art in a wide variety of media formats and excel at all of them. For example, this mini-series features three beloved Disney princesses, where she combined flower petals with her physical illustrations to create "Petal Princesses."

Inspired by roses that were wilting away from Valentine's Day, she started with Princess Aurora and ended up creating three perfect princesses. Check them out before we delve into the absolutely beautiful silhouette series.

The Silhouette series was inspired by a specific artist and their style. Katie said:

"I'm a fan of Hina Aoyama. She is a Kirigami artist in Japan. I was inspired to create a small series of the Disney Princesses."
