Here is the story behind the series:
The Fairy World Series has been an exploration of my unique brand of Woman.
Growing up, I experienced the extremes of the 1970s stereotypical behavior: both of the genders were
represented clearly to my little-grrrl self. I learned to fight, to fear the adults of the world, and to loath my
biggest birth defect, being born female.
I wanted to play war, and I fought regularly, boys mostly. I hated the color pink, which was spoon-fed in
every petite little girl bite I took. In long hair and dresses, I went about my life trying to make sense of what
it was to be a girl in this world. Seeking balance, seeking my inner truth, coming to grips with the body that
was at once, object/commodity, weapon/tool, and all the time weak/powerful, and shameful/virtuous.
Learning how to play the roles with gusto, I have traveled 36 years in a body that has not always felt like my
own; a rental that is a little short in the legs and itchy in all the spots that are just out of reach. Fairy World
allowed me to marry the warrior, and the type, or brand, of woman that I am. I love my grrrl-ness now, a
beautiful, complex and scary uniqueness that defies definitions and allows ultimate flexibility. The female
form is inherently preprogrammed into us to bring forth many emotions from every human being on the
planet. I am one such human, and this is what I see/feel about also being classified as Female Human.
My fairies are not average beauties; they represent the different aspects of my new breed of human being,
a complex being that at this time, resides in my gray matter, and now these colorful canvases too. We are
all creator and destroyer, we all also have a terminal illness; its called birth. I am proud to be this
complicated being commonly known as Woman, privately known as my own tiny, infinite universe. This life
is full of potential, pain and change. Choice is like a mathematical equation; never ending numbers
spiraling into the void, life is a choice; choose wisely and often.
Welcome to my world.
This is Fairy World.

I have been making my living selling my art online for many years. I ship UPS (for works 18"X 24" and larger) and I include full insurance on every work. I will ship internationally with a message before shipping to confirm shipping costs. All works come ready to hang, just unpack and enjoy.
I take all my own photo's, which means my work is always much better in person. All pictures are taken outdoors, in natural light and have no touching up done afterwards, except for cropping.
You will not find anything like my work anywhere on the web, these are my original designs and creations.
I offer my work here on Overstock and my web site first, then they will move on to Galleries around the country for exhibition and sale. I welcome large buyers, collectors and galleries alike and will be happy to work out a deal to everyone's satisfaction, just drop me a line.
