Supanee first introduced her “Dream Art” to the public at an exhibition in Thailand in aid of the Red Cross. Following on from the success of this first exhibit Supanee has gone on to show her works of art at numerous public and private events. Always in aid of her favorite charities. Her works now adorn the walls of many private patrons and public buildings, such as banks, offices and hospitals and on the Internet for everyone to enjoy.

Supanee’s works have been described as “unique” that they “combine both art and emotion reminiscent of Dualist presentation or impressionism. “Some view her works as an artistic curiosity, others the object of inspiration. Some simply see the dreamscapes of a talented artist. All agree that the vibrant colours and shapes defy convention. We will leave you to find them in your own truths and look forward to seeing you in Cambridge.

RACHEL A Fairy Story by Jane Sullivan

A major publication from Brian Froud his ‘World of Faerie’ and his image of faeries due to be published October 2007 scythes through popular fairy art and Disney type fairies. One mans dedicated vision, undoubtedly his greatest single work a thesis based on knowledge, artistic skill, eloquent and passionately written, illustrated with some never before seen images. It seeks maturity in the tide of current commercial perception of fairy, on this point alone Froud will continue to be revered. Having read an advance copy I can see exactly where he is coming from having had the privilege to share time with him and his wife in deepest Dartmoor, in this book he opens the door to his home, the truth of the mistletoe (see image), his studio, and his creative inspirations, his work may be seen as wild and incomprehensible especially to those influenced by lack of folklore knowledge and vision, yet energy bursts artistically from every page with detailed explanation. His timing to publish on the current wave of juvenile images and enthusiasm such a volume is a brave and welcome lesson for adolescent artists to reach maturity he will undoubtedly be regarded with awe and devotion. This book is a must have, an insight into faerie genius.
