Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker


Cicely Mary Barker, Flower Fairy Artist Cicely Mary Barker was born in Croydon, South London in 1895. Due to ill health, she was educated at home and taught herself to draw and paint. With the support of her family and a local art society, Cicely's first work was accepted for publication when she was sixteen years old. Cicely spent her life as a dedicated artist illustrating many children's books and selling hundreds of watercolors and pastels. In her Flower Fairy books, Cicely created the beauty of nature with the botanical accuracy of her plants and the innocent joy of childhood in her fairies. In the foreword to her book, Flower Fairies of the Wayside, she wrote"... let me say quite plainly, that I have drawn all the plants and flowers very carefully, from real ones: and everything that I have said about them is as true as I could make it. But I have never seen a fairy..." Send Free Online Greeting Cards to your friends & loved ones. ALL cards are absolutely FREE !!!.
