I paint the spirit and soul of what I see.

For me drawing is an attempt to understand what I feel about the world I live in.

You do not see fairies through the eyes, you see them through the heart and that took me a long time to learn because I was always trying to see them through my eyes.

Faeries are seen through the heart, not through the eyes. Remember that faeries inhabit the interior of the earth and the interior of all things, so look, in the first place, in the interior of yourself.

In the 20th century, artists did a great disservice to fairies. They painted fairies in a way that was shallow and trite. So when people see my stuff, they suddenly realize the depth of fairies.

Fairies are becoming much more popular. I see fairyland as this big sea, and the tide is sometimes out.

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