About the Fairy of Fun  Word
Pixie Wildflower-poet, artist and fairy of fun.  I love to do anything creative and play with my cats.  I am married to a wonderful man and enjoy my life very well.  I love yoga, reading, and browsing through book stores in addition to my hobbies.   I am crazy about celtic culture and music.  I love coffee!  Give me a double 

 I have always loved drawing since I was a little girl. I enjoyed art classes at school very much. When I was a teen, I sent off one of those "Can you draw this" cartoons and was contacted back. I received a Certificate of Merit from by the Art Instruction Schools.

The representative suggested that I receive training, but I didn't have the funds for it.

My own brother thought I show take Commercial Art in school, but I wound up taking secretarial and administrative courses as I thought it would be a wider job market.

For many years, life got in the way and I didn't so much as doodle. However, a dear friend rekindled my interest in art by drawing me as a fairy. I started drawing then, mostly just to relax. As time grew on, I tried painting, digital art and pixel art. I then started putting my work at deviantArt.com. and places like that.

I have also been a member of the Fantasy Arts Emerging forum.  Through Fae, I have met Christina Davis who put together a book "Faeries through the Seasons". I have four pieces of art and four poems in this book.

Awards
See my website under awards for pixel related site awards. See my art section and look under honors for art related honors.

Education
No formal training other than what I was taught in art classes at school. To tell the truth, that was so long ago. My style is just self taught I guess. As far as other education, I am a college grad that used to work in the Administrative field.
