ARTISTS WE CELEBRATE
The internet opens up the world to us. It is a feast for
our eyes. Never before have we been able to personally view
the works of so many wonderful artists, worldwide.
Here are a few notable and very talented artists (and
artisans) that I have found traveling around the world on
the internet. Some are recognized artists (from both past
and present), while others are simply creative souls and
amateurs.

IDA RENTOUL OUTHWAITE
(1888-1960): She was an Australian fairy artist
and had a style uniquely her own. Her ethereal, pale,
wispy fairies were created with a combination of pen,
ink and watercolor, and usually floated above the earth
or in the water, usually in a standing position with
arms outstretched.

illustrator. During her fifty-year career, she created
