An Even Smaller World
At the bottom of an enchanted garden, an inquisitive fairy child peeps into a convolvulus flower only to discover a wondrous new world where the inhabitants are even smaller than she. Inside the blossom, the mermaid and woman are immersed in their own little universe, completely unaware of their fairy spectator.Like these enchanted beings, we are living in our own little world within other worlds, and what is large and small ultimately depends on how we look at life.
Bubble Flower
From her enchanted flower of bubbles, the fairy blows fragments of fairyland into the mortal world, reminding us that a touch of magic can make any day more beautiful.Visions of a flying galleon, a cat with wings and a magnificent unicorn, are carried on the wind to far off places, Encased in their delicate multicoloured orbs, they float effortlessly, and yet like our own fantasies are so vulnerable, and can be gone in an instant.

Sir Lanval's Dream
Based on a colourful ancient poem written by Marie de France, “Sir Lanval’s Dream” portrays scenes described in the poem. The earliest version of the colourful story dates from the 12th century. Set in the court of King Arthur, it tells of a passionate secret romance between a knight and a fairy, reversing the roles of a knight in shining armour rescuing a damsel in distress. At the dramatic climax of the tale, it is the fairy mistress who saves the knight..!!This is part of an Anglo-French collaboration involving 10 artists from the U.K, and 10 from France. The brief was for each artist to paint their own interpretation of the poem in their own style. It is intended that the 20 or more pieces ( because some artists will be producing two ), will be shown in two venues in France, and two venues in the U.K. starting in the Chateau de Comper in June 2010, followed by a venue in Rennes, and then on to Chagford and Exeter.
It is also intended to produce a film based on the poem made by the Chagford Filmmaking Group

Magpie Fairy
I enjoyed painting this work, which I think of as the “Magpie Fairy” because just as the bird is attracted to bright shiny objects which he collects, so to my fairy has been attracted to various everyday objects.Discarded as rubbish, or accidentally lost, she finds them irresistible and adorns herself with them. Obviously because she is very tiny, the objects are depicted larger than life. I had great fun deciding which objects may have been discarded by humans and would be small enough and interesting enough for a fairy to collect.
As you can see there are many items, from safety pins and paper clips to stamps and a bottle top, changed from the original wording “Dry” to read “Fey”, obviously she felt it was more appropriate, in addition to many forest items such as acorns and oak leaves, she has nuts for rings and of course, last Christmas’s broken ‘fairy’ light bulbs for earrings.Not a traditional fairy but rather a streetwise’, happy-go-lucky, modern fairy.
I think I saw a fairy
In a “Magical Moment” – nearly hidden by nettles, wild briar and foxgloves did I espy a fleeting glimpse of gossamer wing? Was there a little face with a special “look”? Was the “look” surprise, or could it be a secret smile?Then in the blinking of an eye there was nothing there, only a spangle in the air, and a honeysuckle petal lazily floating down.

The Elementals
The balance of nature is maintained by the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air.

Together they unite to ensure that all the forces of nature combine to bring stability to a world that will survive despite Mans meddling.Josephine.
