About The Artist - Jessica Galbreth

Mythic
fantasy artist Jessica Galbreth was born on April 29th, 1974 in Toledo,
Ohio. Today, she makes her home and studio in Waterville, Ohio with
her husband Josh and their two children. Though Jessica did study fine
art with a major in painting for three years at the Toledo Museum of
Art, she also considers herself largely a self-taught artist. She
crafts her original works of art mostly with watercolors, pen and ink,
but at times also utilizes an airbrush and acrylic for certain
effects.
Jessica
began her art career in 1999 with a modest web site. Much to her
surprise, the interest in her fantasy and faery art seemed to
increase very quickly once she showcased her art on-line, so she went
on to expand her web site and product line. Now you can find Jessica's
work in numerous formats, from prints to greeting cards to calendars
and books to collectible figurines and ceramics produced by leading
manufacturers throughout the world. Her work is often featured at
Spencers Gifts, Hot Topic and at specialty retail shops throughout the
world. With distribution of her art and inspired products reaching as
far as Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan, Jessica has truly
become a world-renown artist.
She
is perhaps most celebrated for her ability to capture the haunting and
often mysterious beauty of goddesses and faeries from mythology. Each
of her visions brought to life on paper have a personality of their
own, and often evoke strong feelings in those who view them. Some of
her faeries are elegant, sweet and wistful, while others are defiant,
dark and powerful.
When asked about the path she chose to follow with her art, Jessica has this to say...
"I
am often asked why I chose to paint images of myth and fantasy for my
art career. It honestly never seemed like a choice, as this is what is
truly in my heart. From the time I was a small child, I have loved
fantasy art, especially art with a basis in mythology. I am inspired
by many things...mother nature in all her beauty, the intricate myths
and stories of ancient cultures, the shadowy mysteries of the moon, and
the innocence and simplicity I see in the eyes of my young children.
It is my most sincerest hope that my artwork serves to remind others of
the magic that surrounds us and lives within us always." - Jessica Galbreth
