August’s artist of the Month is American artist Karen Sweetland. Karen’s gorgeous faeries, all created at a little drawing table in her kitchen, are painted using watercolours and coloured pencils. Amazingly, Karen has no formal training and has only been painting for the last four years or so. We’re quite enchanted by her creations and I hope you are too. Please stop by the Fae Nation gallery for a few more pictures, or visit Karen’s website and DeviantART gallery.
