About The Artist

I was a lonely child. I can remember having friends, but never many. I was not the popular or pretty girl. I was the shy and introverted child -- the loner who found more solace in magick of nature that surrounded me and embraced me, but I knew even then as a child that I wanted to be an artist. It was my destiny and I vowed that it would be a destiny I would fulfill.

I've always known who I am from the earliest of ages, but I lost that knowledge for a ways when 'society' began to dictate who I should not be. I should not be an artist. I should not be a child of nature. I should not be independant and strong-willed. I should not be a creature of emotions, empathy, and instinct. I should not believe in fairies and dragons and magick. I should not listen to or follow my dreams.

The 'should nots' held prisoner to doubt and depression for over 18 years. I existed in a world were magick was forgotten, and dreams of destiny and a childhood vow were but a distant memory. Instead, I became a mother and wife -- loved and cherished, but empty of all passion and hope. I had no goals and no dreams. My sleep was that of endless dark with no interruptions, no mystery, no questions.
Until the memory of a childhood vow resurfaced ...

... and I rebelled.

It's My Birthday Soon

Sun Jun 21, 2009, 6:04 PM


Hello everyone,

I would like to announce that I am having a small sale of a select number of graphite originals and older archived works to celebrate my coming 40th birthday. They can be viewed by clicking on the 'CLICK FOR SALE HERE' link at the top of the main page. Dreams of Gaia

There are a few really gorgeous graphites there, some of which were created for use in Dreams of Magic, along with some older colour gems in search of a home.

For mailing list members who purchase two small, medium, or large open edition prints between now and the end of July, you will also be offered a third print of the same size for free of your own choosing. This offer is only available to mailing list members. All you have to do is to provide me with the email address used upon signing up for the newletter and the name of the print you wish to have added to your order. This information can be given in the 'Comments and Questions' section of the shopping cart.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Brightest blessings
Michele-lee Phelan

A Thought

To live a life ruled by Creativity and Inspiration is like falling into a fast-flowing river. To fight the current is an exercise in futility; one that will lead to your tiring and being dragged down beneath the surface or smashed against the rocks. To survive, to be happy, you can do but one thing ...

... give in. Go with the flow and see where the river takes you.

At the risk of sounding strange: I have been watching your art for a time and I find it really beautiful indeed but there was something else beneath the surface that drew me in. I read your bio and I absolutely identify with your struggle...right now I am still being held by the "should nots" but I have begun the work necessary to chip away at them. Its so tough right now, but I am inspired by what I see beneath the surface of your art: true passion and a love of the magick of nature! Thank you so much for having the courage to embrace your passion and share it with the rest of us!!
