Once Upon a Time…

I’m pleased to offer hand-painted mixed media fairytale panels. Each individual square is 15” x 15” and these pieces can be displayed as a freestanding folding triptych on a table, or as three separate paintings hung on a wall. These lavishly decorated fairytale pieces feature metallic paint, textured fabric and paper, and embellishments such as keys, keyholes, functioning book lockets, hourglasses, and more.

These richly-crafted pieces will bring fairytale magic into your life. Fairy tales have a timeless appeal. The distinctive raised texture and moving elements make these paintings an excellent addition to any collection of fairy tale and fantasy art work.

This elegant piece features a a metal rose, golden wings, red teardrop jewels, magic mirrors, stag and bird skull charms, as well as other embellishments.

In so many fairytales and legends, apples hold great power. The Queen in Snow White bespells an apple to make it poisonous. In other myths, golden and silver apples hold the power of immortality in the realms of Faerie, in the Summerlands. Avalon was the Isle of Apples, and apples are connected to the Goddess Venus as a symbol of love. In some old stories, the apple branch gives the power to walk between the worlds, or to cast a spell of great power. What is the enchantment you seek? Will you claim the power of the magic apple?

I hope these works will inspire all those who seek myth and magic!
