About Me:
I'm a fantasy, fairy & gothic artist from Finland. I have a diploma in illustrating children's books from London Art College, but other than that I'm proud to say that I'm mostly a self taught artist. I love experimenting with new techniques and absorbing new information constantly. As an artist I still have a lot to learn, but I see that as the point of creating. You can never be "ready" and I must say I love every step of the way, deeper into my imagination.
I joined Enchanted Folk to meet new like-minded people and artists and hopefully also make some new friends. My biggest sources of inspiration are: the finnish nature, my own beautiful garden with it's roses and perennials, faeries, mythology and also the gothic subculture, music and style, just to name a few. Currently I'm running my own graphic design company called Lindavision, so besides art, I design books, brocures, websites etc. I've also been working on illustrating my own Tarot deck since 2008. Creating art is the most enjoyable thing I can imagine in my life, so making a living by doing something I love and what brings a little bit of magic to people's every day lives would be (and is) a dream come true for me.

About a week ago I finally opened up my own Zazzle Shop! I'll be adding more products when I have the time from my work, but so far I have some greeting cards, all the 12 Zodiac masks on mugs, mousepads and a couple of skateboards and T-shirts :) It's always so thrilling to design new products, I love it! www.zazzle.co.uk/lindapeltola*

Wow! I just got selected as the Froudian artist of the month for December 2009! I feel so honored! Brian and Wendy Froud are such big idols to me and I adore their work so much that being selected by them feels SO amazing. I feel so grateful right now! This is one of those x-mas presents that you just couldn't ever buy with any money in the world :)
