Because I met her through artwork of Anne Shirley - if I remember correctly, Instagram recommended her too me after I posted my artwork of Anne or while I was looking for inspiration and reference images for it (or perhaps after I wrote #Anneofgreengables on a copy of the book I purchased at the English bookstore in France), I based the face off of Megan Follows, who is the Anne Shirley I grew up with (Amybeth McNulty and the other Anne's are beautiful too, but I grew up on Megan Follows and the movies she stars in along with L. M. Montgomery's books got me through some tough times).

I drew ferns because both Pola and I are Polish and there is a Slavic legend about ferns flowering on the Feast of Saint John the Baptist. There are fern-like herbs in the original, and I wanted a tribute to our shared culture. The braids are a reference to both Anne who wears them and Polish culture, as some Polish regional costumes are worn with braids.
