For as long as I can remember, I have loved all things fairytale, myth and magic, along with a passion for art and crafts. These are the things that make me who I am and what I do now.

 

My path to becoming a fantasy artist began as a child, when I spent much of my time drawing fairytale characters and generally being lost in a world of fantasy to escape the difficulties I felt at school and beyond.
Over the years this evolved into an interest in myths, legends and folklore, nature, spirituality and paganism. All of which inspired my art and continues to do so today.

 

I launched my first website in 2006 showcasing a small collection of faery, fantasy and pagan paintings, and began selling prints at events.

Through my work I discovered and have become part of the Faery and Pagan Community, meeting interesting and inspiring people, and many incredible artists. 

 

Along the way, I discovered Leatherwork when my husband took it up as a hobby to create some leather armour and bags. I learned how to apply my art to leather and we started selling leather creations alongside my artwork at events. Working in this medium opened up a whole new creative world, which led to us collaborating and creating our business 'TribaMythica' in 2013.

We now create highly sought after leather bags, along with a vast collection of leather jewellery, hair accessories, costume pieces, masks, headdresses and armour. Our leather crafts are inspired by all things mythical and fantastical along with celtic and nature influences.

​

I also continue to draw and paint, and my artwork is licensed with MoonDragon Cards - who publish my work as greetings cards, prints and gift items.

​

In 2018 we followed a long time dream and moved to beautiful Somerset (UK) on the outskirts of magical Glastonbury. Here, we spend our days creating in our home studio, inspired by the beautiful land and the fantastic creative community around us.

I am very grateful to be doing what I do, following my path and looking forward to my next creative adventure! If you have a dream and ambition, follow it with all your heart. Work hard and Believe, and you will achieve!
