In the artists own Words “Since childhood I have had a love for the fantastic and the imaginary – I enjoy depicting the real and the unreal together, things turning into other things, the unusual engaged with the everyday. However macabre some of my creatures may seem, they still have a whimsical quality – it’s important to me that people can see the humour in my work.”
In my Words When you look at Kaitlins portfolio and then subsequently journey into to her fabulous website its like going on an adventure! She takes you to a world full of interesting characters with their own little personalities and she encourages you to interact with them. An accomplished graphic designer and web designer she also has a serious side which is evident in her superb portraiture seen above. Kaitlin is a great co-host of Painters in Modern Times and she is instrumental in bring the group the regular competitions available in our forums
Take the adventure and visit her fantabulous world and don’t forget to visit her incredible website. |

Glad to see you here Firedrake! Your illustrations are first rate, and keep me looking for the ironies. Portraits are nearest my heart, and I’m floored by your sensitivity with the ones you’ve shown here. Congratulations, and keep the work coming! ~ alice |

I’ve always been of the opinion that Firedrake is one of the very best artists on Redbubble. Well done Kaitlin. |

Your work is amazing and I love the drawing you’ve done of Virginia Woolf. You have outstanding ability that helps to unveil and facilitate balance, which is a very rare gift. I am so pleased that you are here this week! Congratulations for all your wonderful work! Kind regards, Sophie….x |

All I want to know is why did it take so long? Not for the paint to dry, for Firedrake to be featured. Great works, I especially admire the realist portraiture. |
