I feel that what you should illustrate is the space between the words. It's the betweenness, the otherness, that gives depth and dimension.

It was hard for me to move forward, because I take responsibility for what I introduce into the world through my paintings. So to actually introduce something evil or bad was quite hard for me.

To believe in faeries is to step into an enchanted space where the rational mind meets the irrational heart, and all things become possible.

Not all meanings are meant to be clear at once. Some ideas take time. Some words are designed to lead us on inner journeys, with truth hidden deep inside them.

It was ironic that there I was finally painting the pictures I'd always wanted to paint and feeling very much at home in the countryside, and I ended up working in New York City, which is definitely the archetypal city.

Once you step onto the fairy path, it's almost like there's no way off. You have to keep going.

The sylph is a fragment of the earth's soul in faery form.
