Falling


I love fairy tales, folklore, mythology, history and exploring them through my art and photography. I am an artist who likes to work with all kinds of mediums in addition to photography so I will be posting my photographs and photographs of my art(paintings, prints, art dolls, and more).
you can see more of my art at my website at
www.merleart.com and email me if you are interested in my art at merle@merleart.com
And, you can see what's up with me and what is inspiring me at my blog
rowandevoe.blogspot.com/

and finally, I have my etsy shop up!
www.pascal4aqua.etsy.com

I am sorry, but if you fav one of my photographs I will check out your stream and if I find your photograph's or your other favourite photographs offensive I will have to block you. I do many self portraits that depict famous death scenes from Mythology, Shakespeare's Plays, and my own versions of Pre-Raphaelite Paintings. They are not meant for groups or streams that graphically portray death and sex in a way that I find disturbing. I just say "NO!" to images and invites from groups that I find to be of a pornographic nature. I will also have to delete all comments and favs from folks who do not have a buddy icon as well as anything that just makes me feel uncomfortable. Thank you.

All of my photographs and my art are my personal property and have been created with much love, time, effort, thought the occassional broken bone, bruise, broken camera and or equipment. I feel it is only fair that I ask that you PLEASE do not take or use my photographs without asking in which case I may be more than happy to work with you on a project or add them to a group. Thank you.

    "Rowandevoe is made of magic. Everything she creates... paintings, photos, dolls, jewellery... all are the living embodiment of imagination and beauty. She is suffused with the spirit of romance & fairytale, even when conveying the shadow aspects of life. She doesn't shy away from darkness - rather, she dives into it, and swims through it's murky waters, casting light where it seemed there was none. She shines brighter than any star I've yet to see, and radiates creativity. I love her dearly and am proud to call her my friend."

    "What can you say about someone like this, so very humble and human yet at the same time she transcends it all and lives in the land of faery. Head in the clouds and feet on the ground, her world is so rich and full of magic- it makes you seek out any door that will let you in! Luckily there's a big one at the front, and it's always open."

    "To view Merle's work - be it her photography, painting, dolls, or any of her other many talents - is to see the world through the eyes of a visionary. Each piece has a story to tell, and if you look carefully, you will become part of that story. Her magical world is like something from a perfect dream."

    "I've been following Merle's work for about a year now and am blown away by her talent! She creates stunning dreamscapes and hauntingly beautiful images over and over again. Her jewelry work is wonderful as well. She is definitely one to add here on flickr."

    "Rowan DeVoe is a talented, magical, tender-hearted girl who is a true artist in a variety of forms- and her artistic abilities are only outdone by her kindness and friendship and complete loyalty.

    I've had the pleasure of knowing her for a few years now as an artist and a friend, and she is a treasure! Always willing to help a little artistling, she is open and honest and so very supportive. Never condescending or secretive as some artists of her caliber can be.

    She is truly as unique as her art, and she is able to capture her subject's soul, humor and story with her art-- not an easy thing!

    I hope she keeps creating for years and years to come- she has so much to share!

    I am glad to call her a friend!~
    Heather @ Audrey Eclectic"

    it's a chimmy simmy CONFETTI GARDEN says:

    "how is it possible that no one has written a testimonial yet? ok, i'll get past it. any hoo, my dearest merlin from berlin a.k.a. michelle, a.k.a. rowandevoe could be ( and should be) compared to a super hero. a stylish, fairy tale like super hero though, dressed in aqua striped tights and a velvet turquoise frock. not to be confused with a cheesy super hero type.

    she is there for her friends and family in a single bound, her beauty will stop you in your tracks like only iceman's freeze ray can do, her brilliance surpasses even clark kent's (he was suppose to be pretty smart right?) her beautiful long dreamy red hair would make wonder woman jealous even on her best hair day, her limbs are long and lean and allow her to reach distances that only the great plastic man or the oh-so lovable inspector gadget can hold a candle to. her ability to communicate with her four littles is on a level of which only aquaman and his fishy friends could relate, the effortless way that she make friends with everyone she meets makes even robin look like a shmuck of a companion, she is as loyal as spidy's web is long, and she even has a wonder twin which she does occasionally activate.

    in essence she is the real deal, she's been through quite literally everything in her life, and i dare you to top her. merle is a true talent, a dancer, a painter, and a story teller too. she is most sensitive indeed, but that's quite possibly her most endearing quality. she is old at heart and young in the face, and no one could ever, ever take her place.
    I loooooooooooooover her a ton!
    Your friend till the end,
    Anais a.k.a. Nicole a.k.a. it's a chimmy simmy world!"
