About Me: Hi! I'm an Australian fairy and fantasy artist from Sydney, Australia. I have always been drawn to mythical, fantastic and imaginative worlds and expressed them ever since I could hold a pen! My bed that I've had since I was 3 years old (and that I still own) still has goblins and creatures etched deeply into it with green pencil! My first artwork was sold when I was four years old. I consantly strive to better my artistic skills and explore new mediums and styles. I'm an endlessly curious person and am always researching random things. I've studied English Literature, Egyptology, Medieval History, Mythology, Latin, Hieroglyphics and Old English at University and also have my own coded alphabet that I write all my secrets down in! I'm always imagining things and find it hard to turn off my rambling thoughts at night. I LOVE cupcakes with pink icing and eat cereal for almost every meal. I love to experience nature...I live amongst the gorgeous Australian bush and could never move to the city. I am a romantic at heart and live in my own fairytale...complete with my handsome prince in shining armour who I'm so in love with! I love life, love and magic and experience all three to the fullest each and every day!
The most important place you can see me and my artworks is my online gallery and store: www.kirstinmills.com, featuring prints of all my artworks, many originals and also lots of lovely gifts and products featuring my art!
I also have galleries on DeviantArt, Artwanted, Elfwood and The Australian Fantasy Art Enclave.
For updates on my art, new artworks as they're done and more random thoughts from my overactive mind see my LiveJournal Account: www.livejournal.com/kirstinmills
Music: I like almost everything! Jazz and swing have a particular resonance with me. My favourite musician/singer/songwriter of all though is actually my partner (I'm completely unbiased I swear!)...Ashley Morse: www.myspace.com/ashleymorsemusic
Movies: The Wizard of Oz, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (Both BBC and recent versions), Mary Poppins, Disney Movies, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars, The Dark Crystal, Love Actually, the Batman films, Spiderman, Tomb Raider (I want her job!!!), Tristan and Isolde...made me cry for ages!, Austin Powers, James Bond films (mostly the Sean Connery Ones), Shrek and Shrek2, Adventure and Pirate movies...my favourite!
TV: ABC kids!!! It's the best! All the cool old cartoons and shows from the late 80s and early 90s...how good were they?!? Widget the World-watcher, Trapdoor, Swap-shop, Amazing, Ship to Shore (I always get the theme song stuck in my head!) Alias the Jester, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Art Attack, Simon and the Witch (on Couch Potato), Tin Tin, Dangermouse, Batman, Count Duckula, Raggy Dolls, Ratties, Wombles of Wimbledon, The Chipmunks, Saturday Disney...I could go on forever!!!! Endless fun! I loved my childhood! These days...House, The Winx Club!!!! haha I don't watch much now coz I'm too busy reading books. Star Gate was awesome!!!! The OC was addictive (after ages of avoiding it I got sucked in...it's so funny!), I liked Charmed and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (hehe) and best TV episodes of all time in the history of everything....the 1996 BBC production of 'Pride and Prejudice' with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle!!!! SOOOO Good!!!!! I know it off by heart!
Books: I've always been a big reader so my list would be long if I included all the books I've loved! I was always deeply into fairytales and fantasy...my thesis last year was on the genre of epic-fantasy so anything under that banner is wonderful! I've got the entire 'Redwall' series and all Jane Austen's books...awesome! I love the Beatrix Potter and Winnie-the-Pooh stories. I love children's picture books and I love puzzle-books, the mystery-solving adventure ones!!! So fun! There are many more of course but the list is too wide and varied!
Likes: Lots of things!!!!!! Where do I start?! There isn't much I'm not interested in or that doesn't give me some kind of buzz...(I'm one of those people that can be amused by everything...I was never a bored kid!). In one word: Life! :)
Dislikes: Many things but I'm not going to get myself all worked up about them by listing so many horrible things in the one place!
Hobbies: Ummm...art? Reading, writing, collecting lots of things (otherwise known as not cleaning up), day-dreaming! Playing with my cat, resulting in many nasty scratches all up my arms! And playing with my dog..he's so cute!
Heroes: People who have stayed true to themselves and are completely happy within in the face of anything. People (especially women) who have overcome great obstacles by being this way and standing up for what they believe in. Fictional heroes...Elizabeth Bennet!!! haha. I love her! And Spiderman...I wish I could do that kind of stuff...I'd have so much fun!
