Oldest Fairy Artist in the World
Ann Mari Sjogren the Worlds oldest living Fairy Artist celebrated her 90th Birthday in Sweden on 1st January 2008 with a surprise visit from English fairy artist Myrea Pettit of Fairiesworld. Both artists were overcome with the emotion of the surprise party planned at the suggestion of Per Arne Skansen who was responsible to rediscover the talents of Ann Mari in 2001 and a lifetime of drawing and pictures that had lain unpublished for years. Since that time Ann Mari has had her work published in numerous books and magazines and newspapers and made TV appearances and radio interviews. It seems it is never too late for a real fairy to make her mark on a world eager to see her work first published worldwide in 1947 in A Day in Fairyland. Long live Ann Mari and Happy Birthday Blessings.
