I've always had a love for art, my whole life. I'd doodle in my notebooks in school and always love art class best! But it wasn't until shortly after I'd graduated from high school that I discovered fantasy art and all its possibilities. I began drawing fairies, elves, vampires, angels, demons, etc... It all seemed so natural when I went in that direction. Soon after that, I discovered watercolors and the rest is history. I fell in love with this medium and no matter how many others I've experimented with over the years, none have yet to compare to them. I almost always combine my watercolor with a little white gouache too. Occasionally I'll add some colored pencil to the mix too, but I seem to do that less often recently.

I've also always had a love for the dark and supernatural, so my art often has a dark and mysterious feel to it. I love to paint a gothic, moody scene.

After several years refining my skills I finally felt brave enough to start selling some of my artwork. First as prints through some online gallery sites, and then expanding to printing and selling my prints and originals myself through my own website and online shops such as Etsy and Ebay.

I later began making jewelry. At first I was just making some pendants that featured my paintings on them, but I also became interested in the craft of jewelry making itself and have experimented in several different techniques such as beadweaving, chainmaille and kumihimo braiding.

I have wonderful fans and art collectors all over the world. My art has been published in magazines, books and book covers and licensed for several products by other companies. My full portfolio of work can be seen on my website: www.elvenstarart.com
