Watercolor and other art by Rachel Ferrier
You may have noticed that it's been awhile since my last "real" update. Part of it is that I don't love being at a computer for long stretches of time and part of it is because it usually feels like there's something else that needs doing more urgently (even if it was scrolling through my… Continue reading While I Was Away
If all goes according to plan, the URL of Fairy Tree Studios will lead to a whole new website by the time October -- and the site's first birthday -- rolls around. I've been wanting to revamp the website to match my other branding a little better. More importantly, I wanted the ability to sell… Continue reading A New Look for Fairy Tree Studios’ First Birthday
So this whole art endeavor is still pretty new and a bit nebulous for me; even though April was technically the six-month anniversary for this website, it still feels like I'm working on getting established and figuring out what I'm doing. I'm still finding my niche (and my audience) and doing what I can to… Continue reading New This Week: A Commissions Page!
Things I learned (and sold!) at C-U's Boneyard Arts Festival My main table at the C-U Boneyard Arts Festival I know I'm writing this weeks after the fact, but I didn't want to completely pass up the opportunity to write a little about the Fairy Tree Studios art show debut. It was kind of a… Continue reading Fairy Tree Studios’ First Art Show

I got my art prints back today, and despite it costing a bit more than I was hoping, I'm really happy with the results. Several of them have already been claimed… Continue reading Guess Who’s Participating in an Arts Festival!

This post is basically just to say that I've got some more prints coming to the Etsy shop soon; I finally found a local printer who does giclee prints on watercolor paper!It took some research to uncover the… Continue reading The Business of Ordering Prints
What I listen to while I work A glimpse of my (very messy) work space. Not pictured: computer and speakers to the right, pumping out the jams. Every artist of any kind that I've spoken to has their own rituals and processes for creation, but it seems like a pretty standard trope that artists (especially… Continue reading A Painter’s Playlist
A non-painting project that I'm working on this month Prototype fairy wings for the ballet "Les Sylphides" Depending on how closely you examined the picture of my business card a couple posts back, you may or may not have noticed that aside from painting and drawing, I have laid claim to "small handmade items" as… Continue reading And Now for Something Completely Different…
This painting was my final project for scene painting in 2017. It's 4' tall x 5' wide. I deliberated over my shop and studio name pretty heavily for several days (after weeks of casual consideration once I decided to undertake this endeavor). I wanted something that fit my aesthetic, that had some meaning or ties… Continue reading What’s in a name?
First of all, if you didn't already see, I've added a few new pieces to the Home page which I've completed over the last few weeks (but some as recent as the last few days). Take a look and let me know what you think!Second of all, I've kept to my promise (so far) and… Continue reading Work in Progress
