      Hi Jen,
      So how did it come about you painting for Windstone?
      John even told me that he had never met you… 😯

          It’s kinda a long story! It started several years ago when Melody first posted her work in the online Fantasy Art Gallery, Elfwood. Amber (Vantid) and I were roommates in Texas at the time and we were excited to be able to talk to one of our heroine artists (Melody!). We shot the breeze with her a lot and talked about art and birds.

          Amber then moved to California to work for them, but I could not at the time due to my job and family. I was working retail.

          A year or so later, Melody started working on the PYO line and sent me some PYO griffin prototypes to play with. Somehow they decided after talking with me a lot to have me test the PYO line and write a tutorial so I could help those that might need help painting them. John and Melody must have felt I had some skill in painting them (for which I am so greatful!) and that’s how I started painting them for eBay and such. 🙂

          I’ve never been to the Factory! I’d love to visit once they move to Oregon though. 🙂

          Any way, Melody and John sure had the right when they roped you into this. 😆

            I second GB! You have an amazing talent to painting Windstones!

            I have a hard time resisting your pieces…


            I need to get another job so I can afford your pieces.

              No I haven’t! Isn’t it sad?? I want to do as soon as I think I can afford it. It’s 2,800 miles from where I live right now. 😉

                Maybe we can meet there. I live just about as far away! I should be back in the states in saaaay… 6 years. That good for you? Ok, maybe I can get there sooner. 😆

                            It must have been a dream come true for you be asked to join Windstone in painting some of the most beautiful pieces ever done!

                            Besides what you do for Windstone… do you do a lot of artwork involving birds? You just do such wonderful feather barring/detailing on your griffins. They have a perfectly natural appearance.
