Renae Taylor's Etsy Shoppe by renaeleataylor on Etsy

"Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame." ~ William Butler Yeats

Creating beautiful things is how I tell the world that I love it, and it means a great deal to me that so many others appreciate it. I am so very grateful to all my fans and collectors.

Everything in my store is my own original work or a print thereof, excepting the dolls you will sometimes see available which are collaborative pieces with www.etsy.com/shop/mythologicae.

Thank you for helping support me so I can continue making beautiful things and sharing them with you.

I ship throughout the U.S. and try to ship every Wednesday; however, that is not always possible due to my strange schedule. During the winter, I live on our farm atop the Blue Ridge Mountains and much of the rest of the year I spend traveling the country doing shows, fairs, and festivals.

If you would like to order something but are concerned about the timing, feel free to email before you order to find out what shipping times will be.

If we are having any problems getting your order to you on time, we will contact you as soon as possible.

I offer payment plans on my more expensive works, so please feel free to contact me if this is something that might interest you.

"But remember always, as I told you at first, that this is all a fairy-tale, and only fun and pretense; and, therefore, you are not to believe a word of it, even if it is true." ~ Charles Kingsley

Renae Taylor Arts

Renae Taylor grew up believing her parents found her under a bush in the backyard. This belief, amongst many other equally silly thoughts, helped shape her into the multi-faceted artist she is today.

Renae's work is about memory, imagination, and retaining a sense of wonder at the world she lived as a child. It evokes the feeling that something wondrous and strange is just around the corner. Her work focuses mainly on the natural, the mythological, and a positive and whimsical feminine imagery.

In addition to working as a freelance fantasy illustrator, accomplished doll maker, and costume designer, she also offers her artwork through her website, numerous conventions, and festivals around the country.

When she is not gallivanting around the world, she resides amongst exotic birds, non-exotic (but aspiring) dogs, highly skeptical felines, well-mannered goats, and a few gorgeous warhorses on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before." ~ Neil Gaiman

"It is not children only that one feeds with fairy tales." ~ Nathan der Weise (III)

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
~ Emily Dickinson

“Know you what it is to be a child?...It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear, it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.” ~ Francis Thompson

“Although the world is very full of suffering it is also full of the overcoming of it.” ~ Helen Keller

"But remember always, as I told you at first, that this is all a fairy-tale, and only fun and pretense; and, therefore, you are not to believe a word of it, even if it is true." ~ Charles Kingsley

"The creative adult is the child who has survived." ~ Ursula K. Le Guin

“There is wisdom of the head, …and wisdom of the heart” ~ Charles Dickens

"It's easy to believe in magic when you're young. Anything you couldn't explain was magic then. It didn't matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible — elves probably more so." ~ Charles de Lint

"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else." ~ James M. Barrie

Come away, O human child!
To the waters of the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
~ William Butler Yeats
