thank you for the fav !!^^

You're welcome! You deserve it, you're a great artist

Marta is a true, and talented Illustrator - one who "brings light to" or Illumines the written works that inspire her. Although she is still so young, anyone familiar with JRR Tolkien's books will see the depth of Marta's thinking as she brings scenes and characters from such works as The Silmarillion to life. I am fascinated with this interplay of words and images, and of the various elements an artist can uncover in a character or scene, adding nuances which the author himself may not have been aware of. Therefore when Marta began reading my on-line novel and found herself inspired to create portraits of various characters and to depict scenes from the book, I was profoundly flattered. One of the character's portraits she sent to me (that of Gyric in The Circle of Ceridwen) was so utterly expressive of this young man that it actually brought tears to my eyes to see him so fully realized. It was as if I suddenly had an unknown co-creator.

Critic Lorriane Janzen Kooistra in her book about the Pre-Raphaelite poet "Christina Rossetti and Illustration", mentions the "doubled vision" of an illustrated text. When someone so enters into your words as to be inspired to respond with their own visual creativity, the result can bring new richness to the experience of entering that realm of the imagination. Marta has also exhibited this in her pieces that are not directly textually inspired. One of my favourites from his category of her work is Human & Elf. The fact that the Man and Elf face each other with perfect equanimity and balance and equality, and look without fear or distaste or envy into each other's eyes...there is something very telling about her inner life in this drawing. Wonderful work and I look forward to seeing more of it.

Thanks a lot for the
