About Inspirational Faerie Fantasy Artist Lisa Steinke

Lisa Steinke has been called “A Creative and Communication Ambassador for the Possibility Realm” by her peers and fans. Through her unique vision, enchanting artwork and inspirational writing, she encapsulates the spirit of “possibility” and self-healing.

Lisa's interest in faeries really began when she was a young girl. Her mother took her for a walk behind her grandmother's house in the local woods. There were some trees that had been burnt and the area was filled with new growth and life. At the same time her mom had been reading to Lisa from a book called “The Hobbit”. In those woods she pointed out the hobbit trails and burnt trees. She said the trees had been burnt by the dragon's breath and the little dwellings and nesting areas of the local animals became the hobbit homes.

The world of enchantment came to life for Lisa. But it wasn't until years later when she met a woman who had died of an aneurism on the operating table for 6 minutes, and then came back; that Lisa's life with the faeries would emerge.

Carol had visions while on that table in the hospital, and decided to recreate as much as possible using Lisa's help. She had her paint on glass and mirrors to create the most light and illumination possible. Angels and faeries were everywhere! Her entire house was transformed and painted white with light shining brightly onto the pieces. That was in 1996. Lisa has been painting faeries ever since.

Through her unique vision, enchanting art and inspirational writing, Lisa Steinke visually embodies the spirit of possibility and self-healing. A freelance artist since 1987, Lisa's work found its fullest expression in images of faeries that she explored in a wide variety of media and physical scale. Recently, Lisa felt it was no longer enough to just paint the faeries: they were insisting on being heard. With her company, The Faerie Gathering, Lisa creates a spectrum of artwork and merchandise for a worldwide market that combines inspirational images of faeries with motivational words that are informed by her own relationship and experiences with faerie. Lisa lives with her husband, Michael and two daughters, Cloe and Rachel, in Roxborough Park, CO.
