"The Lost Lenore" was painted for my first collaboration with the #drawing tablet company Wacom. The piece is an interplay between Edgar Allan Poe's classic poem, "The #Raven", and the Valkyries of Norse #Mythology.

Watch out for her at Mahtay Café in St. Catharines, CA this December!🖤

“The crush of silk fastened and belled to a golden gown, caging the cliff notes of our tale within.”

~Miyako, from Timbretock🕰️

“Gilded Letters” is currently in exhibit at Curio Art Gallery (online) for the venue’s “Penumbra 10 Year Anniversary Dark Art Show”.🖤

Spirits haunt a wintry lake amid the frozen dawn. “The Final Request” is a tale of sorrowful acceptance and rebirth: it illustrates the final conversation between the Alchemist and Miyako from my #romancefantasy "Timbretock".❄️

“The Covenant of the Rose” was showcased with the Concept Art Association at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social in Alhambra, California at their first exhibition experience “Science Fiction & Fantasy”.🖤

I studied Egyptology at university for a time—this piece is brilliant, Rhonda: I love the hieroglyphs!💙

”Rhiannon & the Skylark” is a part of my floral-iris series—a motif I picked up for some of my #surrealism gallery work. She was long-listed for the Women United Art Prize last year.🌸🌼🌺

The details & movement within your works are exquisite, Shade!🖤

I have a newly completed piece I desperately want to share here: she’s for a magazine issue I’m working as chief editor for, however, these two paintings, “Timbretock” (left) and “Blue Porcelain” (right) were my most popular of 2024.

Congratulations, Winona!🦋

“Pushing Up Daisies” is a favourite recent portrait of mine with emotional connectivity to my struggle with chronic illness. I am running a #DTIYS of her over on Instagram with a magazine publication opportunity as part of its prize—there have been some amazing entries!💓🌼💀

Congratulations, Riola!💜

Congratulations, Aelestial! I love how vintage and magical your art style is!💛

These are two of my latest #surreal #portraitpaintings currently available at @nannygoatgallery.bsky.social in Petaluma, California. They were at the venue’s grand opening exhibition “Ephemeral” earlier this year.🦋

Which #painting do you like best (Left: Timbretock🕰️ ; Right: Mono no aware🦋)?

I love your idea for this #artshare — congratulations, Elen! The vibrant energy you express through your #artworks is enchanting!🩷

Between parasitic spirits, alchemical magic, time-devouring #fairies & plots with dark #fairytale flare, my #romancefantasy “Timbretock” explores themes of self-discovery & impossible love. I’m illustrating another version of this character from my #romantasybook today!

Congratulations, Selina!🦋

It’s not a bubble-helmet, but a magic, pink bubble-gum eight-ball 🎱 from one of my sassier #popsurreal #portraits “Call Me Maybe”. This #painting with its candied vibrance & sunny sunflower iris may have been playfully named after Carly Rae Jepsen’s catchy 2012 pop song.🎧🎶

Congratulations, Sumrow!🩷

ENDOR 2.5 is a spirit capturing, elven-like android from my original sci-fi #fantasy "The Tin Princess". I love how ethereal your work is: thank you for hosting this #artshare, Linish.💜

Some amazing artists to follow: @damjangj.bsky.social, @lesleythiel.bsky.social and @tombagshaw.bsky.social

Endurance, yet fragility; a war against time and love for the ephemeral moments that colour our lives. All of my pieces are a part of me, saying more than I intend, but these three might be among my favourites.

Your work is magnificent, Zara, congratulations!🩷

If you see this, post something #monochromatic!🖤

“The Never Queen” was first showcased at Curio Art Gallery this September during their group #exhibition “Memoir”. She was requested for post-sale after “Deck the Halls” local market in November: her digital #original is still available by inquiry.

If you see this, post a #witch!♥️

“Noemi the Witch” is a #digitalpainting from my #fantasy fairytale, “The Rag Doll Princess”, which began as a Christmas present for my younger sister.🎄🎁🍰

Her original was sold during my solo exhibition “Weird Tales” at Curio Art Gallery in December 2022.🖼️☃️✨

Congratulations, Sago! I love the energy and expressiveness of your pieces!🩷

These are some best loved works by friends and at art shows from my collection of paintings: “Mono no aware”🦋, “Noemi the Witch”🍰, and “The Sting of Love”.🐝

“Hearts, Tarts & Roses” was my first published painting in 2021—I remember being so terrified that I would never be skilled or creative enough to paint more pieces. “Timbretock” is one of my latest works from this year—I’m so happy I never gave up on painting when my confidence was lower then.🦋

I love the detailing in your piece, Nodens: black and purple are always an enchanting pair.🖤💜

Being in the realm of vibrant and whimsical #portraits this time: here is a selection of some of my floral-eyed #fairy portraits, all from my original sci-fi #fantasy fairytale “The Tin Princess”.

Art vs. Artist🐱

This picture was taken before my spinal injury. At 29, I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. I’m hoping 2025 is the year I receive reconstructive surgery. Evenstill, I’m often told that my #digitalpaintings look a bit like me.

QRP with your blue #art🩵

I painted this piece for my sister back in 2021 and it was the beginnings of a new dark #fairytale. She was published in Marvelous Art Magazine and her digital original sold at my first solo exhibition in 2022. “The Ragdoll Princess” is now a ‘popular gift’ on iCanvas.
