Hi.  My name is Dawn Obrecht.  I'm 33 years old.  I'm a fantasy artist based in Iowa in the US.  I'm married with 3 beautiful girls, ages 9, 7 & 4.   I do daycare for my "daytime" job.  I draw and paint faeries and take photographs in my spare time.  (What little of it there is.)

My inspiration comes from everywhere, other artists, my kids, magazines, movies, poetry, life, and music.  I prefer to do darker, gothy faeries.  But it strikes me to do anime style or asian geisha faeries or cute sometimes.

I admire the works of Nene Thomas, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Amy Brown, Jessica Galbreth, Selina Fenech, Meredith Dillman, Becca Cox, and so many more!!

I work primarily in watercolors.  I will do an occasional colored pencil and would like to venture into markers someday, when I can afford the copics. :P

I love seeing so many familiar faces around here!!!  And hope to make some new friends too!!

*HUGS AND MUCH LOVE*

Dawn
