A Little About Me....
Personally, I love puppies, jeeps, and homemade chocolate chip cookies... and, before I get too old, I'd like to visit Europe and see the coastlines and castles!
Professionally, I'm an American artist and emerging brand creating designs based on fantasy, Celtic mythology, and European history. I work closely with Art Collectors, Interior Designers, Corporate Art Dealers, Art Consultants and Film/TV Set Designers; I also expand my brand via licensing.
BIO
Dru lives and works in a quiet rural town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. She grew up and was educated in a rural town about an hour northwest of Indianapolis, IN.
A self-taught artist, she started doodling early, developed traditional art skills in high school, photography skills in the military and college, and non-traditional art and digital art skills later in life. Her photography has been published in military publications and photography magazines; her art has been published on corporate collateral, and distributed on consumer products worldwide.
Artist Statement
I'm an American artist drawing inspiration from fantasy, Celtic mythology, and European history. Influenced by Boris Vallejo and Anne Stokes, my creations combine imagination with history. I love researching the Renaissance era, castles, and epic realms, putting the data and ideas into action. My Le Revenant series is an example of the fusion of my research and imagination, the designs are mystical -- pulling you into another world. While creating the series, I had to master new techniques to bring it to life, the process was extremely challenging but in the end, the designs are magical...bringing me joy and a sense of accomplishment.
