“Armorel has a unique and creative talent. Her work is humorous, quirky, believable and executed with skill and artistic vision. Brian and I both love what we’ve seen so far and we’ll continue to follow Armorel’s career with interest and enthusiasm. She should be on every art doll collectors list of new artists to watch out for and collect.” Wendy & Brian Froud
“Speaking on behalf of myself and goblino n friends, we all had a magnificent time. The exhibition at Glastonbury was a real eye opener for me.
I am still so amazed at all the fun positive feedback i recived. I am so very gratefull to all the lovely people who took the time to tell me how my work made them feel. I am also very gratefull to karen kay for organising the event and giving me such a wonderfull space for my Goblyns to play in.” – Armorel
My drawings and sculptures are small depictions of my world which runs alongside and in and out of my everyday existence(or maybe its the other way around!) I was fortunate to have a very open minded upbringing, and my life was constantly enriched with new concepts ideas and great books. I would often sit on my own for hours in the garden and travel far into a land where any thing was possible and where I thought i had only been a few minutes. A lot of what I learnt there I use in my everyday adult life. To be in touch with the faerie realm in adulthood is a gift. Art along side music is the best way to travel through faerie. It is as delicate as inspiration itself and has to be cared for by using it everyday. It is intense but soo life enhancing to see and feel soo much all of the time
As with inspiration once you know where to find it ..it is everywhere! My work is an expression of my world of which I feel is neither completely in everyday reality nor completely in faerie… I have attempted to express through texture colour personality emotion and character. With all my sculptures I feel new emotions as if they have grown from within me. I hope that the creatures who have been expressed from my world bring something new to everyone…but strangely you may feel as if you have already met!
