One of the most successful and prolific fairy artists today is Amy Brown. You will see her work on calendars, mugs, t-shirts, posters and figurines.
I love her biography. She started out in her late teens, working in an art gallery. The owner asked her to paint something to fit in an empty frame. Amy asked what to paint, and her boss said: "I don't know, paint a fairy or something."
The painting sold within three days, so she painted another and another, each one selling.
"It was like the fairies had taken control of me and were pushing me to paint their portraits," she says in her online biography. " A little more than seventeen years later, over 1300
paintings completed, and a history of licensed products longer than I
can count, I am still trailing behind helplessly as the Faeries drag me
on in a seemingly endless rampage."
You can visit Amy Brown's official website and read about her passion for fairies that still drives her:

While visiting, you might even want to shop for gifts or even for yourself!
You also might want to visit my own CafePress Shop to see my fairy art, which is quite different than Amy's:
