THE GALLERY
New for 2026
Original water colour and mixed media paintings by Elizabeth Andrews.
Artwork inspired by the magical landscape of the south west.
Hello and thank you for visiting my blog and for sharing my fascination for the
enchanting realm of magic, a place of such exciting and wondrous things!
I grew up in rural Dorset where there was a wealth of local folklore and
superstitions, When I wasn't engrossed in the tales told by my elderly
neighbours and relatives, I could be found exploring the great
outdoors - climbing trees and burrowing through hedges, in
search of the hidden places where faeries might dwell.
I believe these experiences and the tales I heard as a child have fueled my
lifelong love and fascination for the folklore and flora and fauna of Britain.
For the past 30 years, I have devoted myself to creating watercolor paintings and
illustrations inspired by the enchanting world of the fae.
I like to think that my artwork has managed to capture the delicate beauty and magic of
these mythical creatures.
Alongside painting, I have written numerous magazine articles and books that
explore faerie folklore.
As interest in my work continues to grow, I have been invited to offer original pieces for sale.
This exciting opportunity allows collectors and fans to own unique artworks that celebrate the landscapes that have inspired Britain's countless legends and folklore.
