About Me:

Other things about me...Family and friends are Everything...after that being an artist (meaning trying to be one that makes money, too) takes up the rest of my life!
Music:
I love listening to all kinds of great music (especially while I work) but I have a particular favorite.....my sister:

Music that inspires me while creating artwork:
Priscilla Hernandez, Faun, Caprice, Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, Opera Babes, Sigur Ros, Jenna Greene, Sarah Brightman, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Woodland to name just a few. And then I also listen to endless movie soundtracks.

A few of my favorites: Lord of the Rings, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Chocolat, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Local Hero, King Kong(1933), Wizard of Oz, Jason and the Argonauts(old one), Jean Cocteau movies (La Belle et le Bete is my favorite).....oh, lots more, too!
TV:
Yeah...I am hooked on Lost.

I read many types of books but I love to collect beautifully illustrated children's books...old and new.
Likes:

Dislikes:
Onions are my enemies!
Hobbies:
Traveling, painting, Hiking through the woods finding the secret places fairies live, gardening, making costumes, collecting books....
Vices:
Endlessly unorganized....easily lured by the dazzle of technology.....I buy too much fabric,always with good intentions....Post-it notes are drowning me in my own office....Ranch dressing...

Being a good listener,
Always a strong supporter of anyone following their dreams...

In other news, I am a guest artist at this years FaerieWorlds festival in Oregon. I will be there along with the most wonderful UK fantasy artist, Julia Jeffery, who I am very excited to be able to finally meet in person! I will be bringing my new calendar along with lots of new artwork so I hope to see any Enchanted Folk that may be there!

I've lived in California for over 20 years now and I don't ever recall our trees and flowers blooming in February, but that is what's happening!! Spring has arrived and in honor of this beautiful season, I'm posting my latest artwork: "Follow the Clairyon Call"
Enchanted Folks founder, Be Montague, always so beautifully wrote about the seasons every year......it was inspiring to me. I miss Be's presence here on Enchanted Folk so much....
