I live in Atlantic Canada, have two beautiful children (Brianna and Conner), and we still believe in faeries. I've been working as an artist for about fourteen years, and my primary focus has always been faeries, mermaids and intricate design. My designs were strongly influenced by my years overseas in the Middle East, and of course my refusal to grow up keeps the magic of faeries alive.
My favourite mediums are pen and ink, watercolours and watercolour pencils. I love the control I have with the watercolour pencils as well as their versatility. With the pen and ink, the stippling shading takes hours of repetitive dots, but the end result to me is worth the effort. After I finish the piece in ink, I enjoy playing with colour. I have recently been working again a bit more in watercolours, and if you keep and eye out, you may see one of my rarer pieces submitted for sale.
I couldn't even begin to list the many things that inspire my work as a whole. I've been moved to create by everything from my daughter the faerie, my son the sweetest imp, to toadstool rings. I suppose I'm still a child in many ways. We still leave sweets by our favourite trees for the faeries (they adore cake icing!), toss a shiny coin over the side of bridges to keep the trolls out of our hair (pennies are a favourite!), and I'm as superstitious as they come. I believe in magick, practice it frequently, and live life with as much joy as I can find. I still look for hidden castles in dark woods, and someday I'll be the village wise woman.
