Born in 1963, Linda Ravenscroft is a self-taught artist who has been painting since she was very young. Until recently, she lived with her husband John in the beautiful county of Cheshire, England. Since then, she has had the opportunity to follow one of her dreams, moving to the magical town of Glastonbury, "The Isle of Avalon" in Somerset. Where she and her husband John have just finished renovating an old Georgian bank, to create a magical house and the official space of Linda's gallery and studio, "The mystic garden gallery & Studio". Linda became a professional artist in 1994 after the birth of her son, Dorian, who immediately fell seriously ill. Linda was unable to return to her office work as she had planned; the only other thing she thought she could do to earn a living while taking care of Dorian was to paint. Since then, her work has been widely published and has appeared in many Fantasy / Fairy Art books, such as "The Art of Faerie", "The World of Faerie" and "Watercolor Fairies". She has also illustrated and written numerous Faerie Tutorial art books, including her best-selling "How to Draw and Paint Fairies", her "Enchanted Faerie and Fantasy Art of Linda Ravenscroft" and "The Fairy Artists Figure Drawing Bible", as well as her best-selling "Woodland Faeries Calendars" and "The Msytic Faerie Tarot Bunch" by Llewellyn Publishing. Linda's work is collected all over the world, particularly in the United States and Europe.
