I describe myself as a fantasy artist, but I see fantasy more as a way of commenting on reality than escaping from it. Spirituality and nature are important themes in my work, and I am inspired by the stylised but organic forms found in gothic architecture, Art Nouveau and celtic design. I usually work with acrylics, often using translucent layers of paint and coloured pencils. This method allows me to build up my paintings gradually, making constant revisions, and gives greater depth to the final image. I also enjoy the challenge of illustration. As an illustrator I strive to respond creatively to other people's ideas whilst remaining true to my own style and artistic concerns.
I also love pyrography and sell various fantasy themed pyrography items in my Etsy shop, such as pendants and faerie, dragon and unicorn name plates. Most of these can be personalized.
That piece you included is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIf I had one wish it would be that could put the pictures in my head onto paper.
You're so lucky. :)
