Following the Yellow Brick Road
Isabella is a 23 year old artist / illustrator who specializes in the wonderful and amazing.
She has spent most of her life in the imaginary worlds. Everything she encountered on her trips to those worlds she has put down on paper, using nothing more then her pencil and a bottle of Indian ink.
Her work is inspired by folklore, myths, legends, superstition, folk songs and of course her own journeys and imagination.
Someone I greatly admire words my personal feeling about the Magical world best: Desiderius Erasmus -
"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."
Isabella has been a member of Enchanted Folk since May 2008

There is something about folklore, myths and legends, which attract me. The stories I find during my travels and during trips to libraries touch me deeply. Maybe it is because they are so old and therefore connect me with the people of the past, or maybe it is because they open a connection with other, forgotten worlds. In Legends the supernatural is a returning topic, whether it’s: fairies, giants, ghosts or vampires.

Through time I have learned stories can come from most unexpected sources. Of course most myths and legends I have collected and illustrated came from books, but then there are also those, which are told to me by the locals or sent to me through the mail. Some of these I find in newspapers, and then there are those which catch you by surprise...

How I love visiting places connected with myths and legends. But sometimes, stories connected with these places I will never visit can be so much more interesting.

It must have been some weeks ago when the Dutch Meteorological institute predicted a meteor shower in the night sky. I had never seen a falling star in my entire life; somehow I have always missed them.
