The Italian illustrator Rosa Maria Preziuso seems to have vanished or changed her name. This work, "Just Married - Metamorphosis," was done in the mid-80s.

I don't know if she was ever able to publish a book. I could see a publisher (wrongly) rejecting her work for being too haunting and sad and bizarrely titled. The pupil-less eyes are great.
