Sharon Hurst UK artist in watercolor and mixed media, well known for her lectures and workshops that have helped and encouraged creative talent , talks tips with Fairy artist Myrea Pettit at the Three Wishes Faery Festival to celebrate the 2009 Midsummer Solstice in magical Celtic Cornwall. “There is no better connection to ”Fairy’ than to be among them at the time and place where for centuries legends of Albion and the little people have inspired generations with their appearances, tricks pranks, and kindnesses too. This is the only way to know how to understand what a fairy is all about, who they are, to feel, see and create their images so that others can believe they really exist and can believe in them and the beauty of nature.”
