Many people may have seen the name 'Elfies' on works of Maria van Bruggen and not even known it was her. She is a full-time fantasy/illustration artist. The artist keeps pretty busy through out the year working on the many different commissions she receives. "Art is a huge part of my life and the biggest inspiration daily. I mostly use watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and oil. Finding watercolor to be the most comforting medium for me." Van Bruggen lives in the beautiful small town of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem, Belgium with her husband and two children. SPRING GODDESS
