PM: how long have you been involved in the visual arts?

JG: "I have been drawing since I was a very small child, but professionally, I have been selling my artwork for 3 years."

PM: What is you biggest inspiration personally? How about artistically?

JG: "My biggest inspiration with my artwork is the beauty of nature. I can get so many ideas for new works just by taking a walk in the woods near my home in Ohio. This is when I feel the most spiritual."

PM: Do your personal religious/life beliefs make their way into your artwork?

JG: "I have always been fascinated with all things mystical - faeries, unicorns, goddesses. For me it is a way to bring a little magic back in to the boring everyday routine we all find ourselves in from time to time."


"Snow Queen"

PM: Please tell us about this piece entitled "Snow Queen"

JG: "With Snow Queen, I wanted to capture the beauty of winter with a faery. I wanted to break away from the traditional holiday reds and greens, so I chose the cool icy blues and purples instead. She is one of my favorites."

PM: What's your favorite piece of your own?

JG: "My all time favorite is 'The Wood Witch'. I really like the earthy colors and the look in her eyes."

PM: Who is your favorite artist? Why?

JG: "My all time favorite artist would have to be Brian Froud with his wonderful faery art. However, lately I've become enthralled with the artwork of Susan Seddon Boulet."

PM: Who is your least favorite artist and why?

JG: "How about a least favorite type of art? I do not like contemporary abstract artwork. I guess it is a personal thing - I like to view semi-realistic artwork which transports you to another world and I really get bored with the plain boxes and lines often found in contemporary artwork."

PM: What do you think makes someone an artist?

JG: "I think what makes an artist is the desire to create a mood, feeling or convey something to others. With my own artwork, I try to convey the magic that we all knew as children but have since forgotten as adults."
