When Ellis Avery saw Polish Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka's painting Beautiful Rafaela, she immediately wanted to know more about the mysterious Rafaela. After researching de Lempicka, Avery took the little information she could find about Rafaela and turned it into a powerful story of desire and deception set in 1920s Paris.
