"Gradually the Faeries have evolved in meaning for me... something more than the typical definition of Faeries being winged girls flitting around in the woods or at the bottom of the garden. They are often wise, majestic and beautiful. Sometimes they are terrible and cruel. They embody grace, mystery, wonder and miracles as well as despair, trickery and desire. Wings can be a symbol of freedom, enlightenment and spiritual growth; or power and strength. Horns and antlers hint at ageless wisdom and grace in some Fae and malice and cunning in others. Feathers signify free spirits or a dark and mournful nature. In the Faery realm, all things become possible and not all is what it seems."

" In high school, his creative nature led him into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. When he wasn’t creating art, he was playing with friends – which only fueled his imagination with more interesting characters and creatures to illustrate and bring to life".
"He started selling prints on his website and was asked to do some paintings for the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time TCG."
"Rob will continue to draw and breathe life into characters, monsters, and fantastical creatures for as long as they keep telling him their stories. May the stories never die…"

Spring Fairy Festival- Making the mundane into magic since 2008!
Jody Bergsma, Bellingham WA
"Jody has a diverse painting style that has developed over many years and literally thousands of paintings. Her earliest works were charming children's illustrations that she sold at Northwest art shows to pay for her education.
Jody's watercolor technique is self taught. Her engineering degree is reflected in her compositions and demonstrates Jody's love of mathematics and geometry. She seemlessly blends these elements with her imaginative inner visions to create her unique style.
She is often asked about her use of aboriginal, native, and geometric symbols. Her ongoing studies introduced her to many ancient cultures and the beauty of their designs. By respectfully working with these images, Jody participates in the significance of our history and reintegrates their symbols into our modern culture."
