Why do fairy tales endure? Even in this age of digital entertainment, people still love to hear a classic tale or see a new drawing of their favorite character. Maybe it brings us to a simpler time, less clutter in our lives, when we believed in the possibility of being a princess or a brave knight.
The ability to forget our troubles and go to a place where good and evil are clearly defined, but the monster may not be the evil one. Where the creatures are fantastical and adventure reigns supreme, yet we can still relate to the character’s problems as though they were our own.
Through my art I am able to escape to those worlds and forget the bills I have to pay, the menial work that must be done, and become the little girl that dreamed of being a mermaid in the pool once again. I want people to see my art and get the same sense of wonderment and adventure I get whenever I open up a fairy tale book. But most of all, I hope that they lose themselves in a world that will make them smile.
