“Queen of Bees” – one of my special debut paintings for FaerieCon 2012. The original itself sold at the show but I have prints & posters available!

I also love the bees themselves – you can even see some honeycombs peeking out from underneath her skirts! This is my own original acrylic painting.

"Unicorn's Ghost" Greeting Card
A very atmospheric scene of a melancholy girl holding a lovely skull of what appears to be a unicorn. In the background you can see the famous medieval Unicorn Tapestry hanging on the wall (now in the Moyen Museum (Musee de Cluny) in Paris. This piece debuted at the Dragon*Con Art Show in 2012 and the original painting had a custom frame by Jasmine's husband Matt – a very unique shield shaped frame in a dark patina finish with a Jasmine fairy face carved into the ornamentation at the top. My own original acrylic painting.
"Microcosm: Triceratops" iPad Case
"Microcosm: Triceratops" is the second painting in my Microcosms series – delving into the theme of Alchemical microcosms – miniature life and worlds created in glass jars or beakers. This installment features a beautiful girl painted in a very classical style, holding an aerated glass orb containing a tiny primeval world, complete with triceratops! As an amateur paleontologist I simply love dinosaurs and adore painting them when possible. This is one of my favourite paintings – it also features the iris, one of my favourite flowers. This painting debuted and sold at the Spectrum Fantastic Art Live 2012 show, prints & posters are now available! My own original acrylic painting.
