专辑简介

As a pioneer of ethereal music, with internationally acclaimed albums inspired by mythology, literature and faerielore, I am dedicated to fostering faerie arts. Bewitching creatures such as centaurs, elementals, seagiants, dragons, salamanders, jinn-cats and dryads inhabit my creations, inspiring writers and illustrators worldwide. In Australian bushland, love for trees led to fusion of Druidry with Dreaming. Since my first original studio recording at age ten, I have challenged borders of ambience, folk goth, dreampop and neo medievalism. At the turn of the century after a long struggle in Australia’s music establishment, my music began appearing on indie labels, magazines, compilations and soundtracks in Europe and America, with glowing reviews. Performing at festivals and pageants as a fairy storyteller, I improvised with carnies, donning a garland, swinging a basket over one arm, twirling a mandolin with the other. Reading avidly, teaching Humanities at multicultural schools, and freelancing in writing, further nourished my expression. Highlights were winning an award at Trolls et Legendes festival in Belgium; singing on the main stage of Faerieworlds, the world’s largest fairy festival, with mythic-rock band Woodland in Oregon, America; and providing my song Which of these Worlds from our fifth album Apple Pentacle for a You Tube clip by internationally acclaimed British illustrator Brian Froud with his son Toby, entitled Muse. In recent years I ceased touring to care for a sick hubby, my beloved, brilliant co-songwriter Mark Krol, while working part time at a university, where I joined The Monash Fairy Tale Salon, becoming a founding member of The Australian Fairy Tale Society, an interdisciplinary group of folklorists spanning academia, music, writing, glass sculpture, quilting, oral storytelling, photography and more. As of 2016 I am grooming fantasy chronicles that began over three decades ago, set to our music. I run a fairy tale blog featuring reviews, news and interviews with other artists. By supporting my songs, you not only help me to continue recording, but nurture our international fey circles.
