showcasing The FINEST traditional fantasy artists

1 Frigg, Lady of Secrets

Oil, 18x30in

“Queen Frigg is the greatest of all seers. She knows more than her husband but tells none. This painting was for a pagan temple in Newark, England. It was great working on a religious painting, but it was also intense. It’s daunting to know that you’re painting something used in worship.”

2 Odin’s Secrets

Oil, 18x24in

“The head of Mimir, dead god of knowledge, whispers secrets to Odin, while his two ravens tell him what has happened each day in Midgard. This is my most shared painting online. I find it fitting that Odin, the Grey Wanderer, also likes to wander the internet.”

1 Maiden Tree

Graphite, ink, watercolour on paper, 8.5x11.5in

“This was created for an anthology of re-told fairy tales called Once Upon a Time. I illustrated a story called Maiden Tree and this is the moment the maiden transforms from her cursed tree form back into a woman, which can only happen in the moonlight. I purposely went for more toned-down palette than usual. It’s one of my favourites.”

2 Not Al one

Ink, watercolour on paper, 8.5x11.5in

“I got to indulge my love of gnarled trees in this piece. The girl in this painting may think she’s alone with her troubles, but little does she know there are others who want to help.”

3 Keep an Eye Out

Ink, watercolour on paper, 11x17in

“This painting is about finding inspiration and being wary of creative block or other obstacles that can get in the way.”

4 Below The Surface

Ink, watercolour on paper, 11x17in

“In this painting the girl is imagining herself as a mermaid, which is why their colouring is the same. I used to imagine myself as a mermaid all the time when I was younger.”
