ELLA RISEBROW

“FAIRYWISE”, Enchanted, handsculpted, polymere clay dolls.
Fairies of wise open our eyes
To an enchanted world, full of surprise,
Elflings, Fairies, Sylphs and sprites,
Mermaids, Mermits and Coralites.
From their hearts great love they bring,
that all Earthlings in harmony may sing.

Growing up in the 60's - 70's in the bushland of southern Australia, I spent much of my youth communing with the nature spirits in my backyard and beyond, drawing painting and sculpting my way to adulthood.
I have been sculpting little replicas of my fairy friends since 1984,  Inspired and instructed by fairies, I learned by trial and error over the years to perfect my craft, with no human tutoring or influence. ( I had no access to computers back then )

My little sculptures were called “Ellafings” and “Dreamspirit Dolls” back in the 80’s and 90’s, . Exhibited in Australia, Austria, Tokyo and California, and are now in many collections around the globe.
All my Dolls are Unique, One of a kind originals, there are no moulds used so no two are the same

I also am a spirit guide artist and a fairy portrait artist, appearing at expos and events in Australia, for the last 16 years and have also worked as a spirit/portrait artist at places such as Adyar Bookshop Sydney, Inner Vortex Noosa, Byron's Discovery Byron Bay, Gifted Angels Port Macquarie and Medicine Wheel Byron Bay.
the way I draw is called 'Automatism' it's similar to automatic writing in as much as my hand is guided and often I am as surprised as the person I'm drawing for, to see the image that appears on the page.

I also am an illustrator for childrens books oracle decks etc .
