1 NORTH SEA MERMAID
“Studying sea folk tales and lore inspired me to create this beautiful mermaid luring a Viking to his watery grave.”
2 YOUNG DRYAD
“Part of a series of seasonal dryads. I imagine that a tree spirit dryad in the spring will be young, and will age as the year progresses.”
3 GARDEN UNICORN
“I was inspired by a medieval unicorn tapestry I saw as a child on a visit to a museum. This is an homage to the magical feeling I had when I first saw it.”
4 DEATH OF THE SUN
“As she blots out the sun, the Queen of the Night releases her magical night spirits upon the world.”
